TIME TO CARE

It is always a good day to prepare a special dinner. We personally like to offer a moment together, a way to slow down and enjoy each other's company.  

We have used linen tablecloth with hand embroidery from the Maria Elena collection and round placemat and bread plate in green knitted fabric from our collaboration Isabel Prieto x Villa Las Perelli. Melita napkins; handmade earthenware flat and deep plates from our Rosario collection made for Villa Las Perelli, Brick Lane cutlery in black stonewashed finish, Inku veined glass jug, wine glasses from the Passe-Partout collection, glasses from our Ondarreta collection made for Villa Las Perelli; and antique pieces such as the silverplated serving dish, the salt shakers, the serving spoon and fork and the candle holder.

A DIFFERENT MENU FOR A SPECIAL DINNER

The mix of antique and modern is one of the hallmarks of our studio. For this dinner we have used antique pieces bought abroad. We like to bring back the past and those beautiful and practical objects that are no longer in use.



We have used square tablecloth and round placemats from our Amelia collection and napkins with long fringes model Cristina, flat plate, soup plate and bread plate in handmade earthenware from the Rosario collection produced for Villa Las Perelli, Brick Lane cutlery in gold finish, Inku veined individual jugs, wine and champagne glasses from the Passe-Partout collection; and antique pieces such as the silver plated dishes, the salt shakers, the little cups with lemon, the candle holder and the pair of pheasants.

ON WEDNESDAYS WE EAT PASTA AT HOME

When we were little, we ate spaghetti at home on Wednesdays. Our father prepared them for us with cockles. They were our "alle vongole e pomodorini" Perelli. We always invited friends from school that day and looked for old and traditional recipes. Another of our favorites were the carbonara (with guanciale, pecorino Romano, tuorlo d'uovo, pepe nero e acqua di cottura ).

For this moment we prepared spaghetti aglio, olio e basilico and burrata on trays from the Rosario collection, Olive nere e capperi on small trays from the same collection, carbonised wood trays from the Passe-partout collection underneath, grated parmigiano in bowl, deep, dinner and dessert plates from the Rosario collection, hand-knitted organic cotton placemats from the Isabel Prieto for Villa Las Perelli, table cloth and napkin from the Amelia collection in 100% linen manufactured in Italy, glasses from the Ondarreta collection, Passe-partout glasses, and a selection of antique pieces: serving cutlery, alpaca piece with oil warmer, gravy boat, water jug and candle holders.

SWEET AND SALTY BUFFET

Breakfast is one of the moments we like the most, especially on holidays or weekends, when we have time to enjoy it. We love to prepare a sweet and salty buffet, with the new recipes that we have been tasting the past days. There is a competition with points included, to see which one is the most successful, most beautiful and best presented. We always mix antique and modern tableware and it is "compulsory" that the table looks stunning.

For this "moment" we used Amelia tablecloth and Maria Elena napkins in 100% linen made in Italy. Cups (cappuccino, coffee and espresso), plates, bowls, teapot and jug in white porcelain from the Base collection, antique pedestals in white Limoges porcelain with gold details, Copper Chemistry jug with copper handle, glasses from the Ondarreta collection, champagne glass with yoghurt and veined jug used as a vase from Inku; and antique silver-plated pieces such as the fruit cups, the coffee pot, the toast rack, the cake stand, the sugar bowl, knives and serving cutlery.

A SPECIAL BREAKFAST, FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAY

Having breakfast in bed is one of life's small pleasures. Preparing a tray of delicious bites to enjoy the morning's quiet time and extend it even further is always a good excuse after a busy week or on vacation. A fine tea, a fruit bowl and a yogurt, or a lemon cake or an avocado toast with a poached egg... any menu for this time is appealing.

For this "moment" we have used an antique nickel silver tray, with Beatriz linen napkin as a placemat, a 100% linen cocktail napkin made in Italy Fuencisla collection, a matte bronze washed finish coffee/tea spoon from Brick Lane collection, glazed finish teapot and cappuccino/tea cup and milk jug size S in glass from Passe-Partout collection, tall flat plate size XS from Base collection, glass size XS from Ondarreta collection, antique nickel silver cups.

ROAST FOR A COLD DAY

At home, we like to roast individual pieces, to make it simpler to serve them. The recipe is easy and with a tasty side dish it's a great meal for a winter's day.

In the "Recipes" section we explain ours.

We have used our Rosario tableware to serve them and the old French platters to carry them to the table. So we don't burn ourselves, we have our hand-knitted cloths from our collaboration with I Isabel Prieto for Villa Las Perelli.

We like to present the garnish on small plates from the Base collection and use Brick Lane's gold cutlery to "sophisticate" the roast. The napkins with handwoven embroidery by a Sicilian craftsman are from our María Elena collection. The silver gravy boat and the cutlery to hold the chicken leg are antiques.

AN IMPROVISED MEETING, A SNACK FOR TWO

Sitting by the fireplace listening to the crackling of the wood and feeling the warmth is one of the most pleasurable rituals of our winters. An aperitif that invites you to sit around the table and chat for hours or simply contemplate and relax at the end of the day. A way of making an everyday occasion special, taking care of the details and creating a welcoming atmosphere.

For this "moment" we used a black wooden board and tray from the Passe-Partout collection to serve the cheese and bread, antique silver-plated cups for the olives and nuts and the XL size glass from our Ondarreta collection for the grissini. For the red wine, we used the straight design glasses from the Passe-Partout collection and the natural colored knitted "bread plate" from the Isabel Prieto x Villa Las Perelli collection as coasters. 100% linen cocktail napkin made in Italy from the Fuencisla collection, porcelain low plates size S from the Base collection, and other antique pieces such as the candle holders and the knives with wooden handles.

BREAKFAST WITH GÂTEAU AU CHOCOLAT ET NOISETTES

In the mornings we like to read the newspapers before leaving for the studio, while having breakfast. We each have our favorite cup.

We believe that taking care of the details of every moment we live around the table improves the experience, even the dishes taste better...

For this breakfast, we combined antique coffee pot with black wooden tray, cappuccino/tea cup with saucer, porcelain milk jug and XS dinner plate from the Passe-Partout collection; cocktail napkin from the Fuencisla collection and stonewashed finish moka spoon from the Brick Lane collection.
