Who else needs a holiday? For now, all we can do is imagine a week in Tuscany, enjoying beautiful fresh food from a local farmhouse and learning to paint. It was this exact idyllic setting in which chef Amber Guinness spent her childhood. In Arniano, a gorgeous 18th-century farmhouse in Tuscany, Guinness learned to cook and paint. It was there, in 2014, that she established The Arniano Painting School, a residential painting course and immersive art and food experience that has become a dream travel destination. In her latest cookbook, A House Party in Tuscany: Recipes, Stories and Art from Arniano, you'll find 75 original recipes including classic dishes and cocktails, seasonal menu suggestions, tips on hosting and entertaining and a "recipe" for starting an oil painting. Scattered through the book are dreamy, evocative paintings of Guinness' home in the Tuscan countryside and of the sumptuous feasts she cooks there. A House Party in Tuscany offers a much-needed respite for everyone.
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
2. Remove the tough ends from the asparagus stalks by gently bending each spear from the base - the inedible part of the stalk will snap off.
3. Unroll the pastry onto a rectangular baking tray lined with baking parchment. Prick the pastry all over with a fork, brush generously with egg wash, and put it in the fridge for 10 mins while you prepare the ricotta mixture.

PLANT-BASED PIES
Pies are a piece of gastronomic brilliance: a filling with a case and lid you can eat is food genius. The first pies date back to Egyptian times and there is a recipe for chicken pie that was carved into stone more than 4000 years ago. For millennia, however, the pie casing was mostly used to cook the filling, but for around 500 years or more we have been eating the pie crust too.
