Here's a story that will warm your heart.
Cereal-loving Italian chef Aldo Zilli was "shocked to the core" (see what they did there?!?) by last month's tragic earthquake in his native region of Abruzzo in Italy and decided to do something for its many victims.
He is launching a menu celebrating the cuisine of the Abruzzu region at his flagship restaurant Signor Zilli in London's Soho, with a portion of the proceeds going straight to the Abruzzo Earthquake Fund.
Dishes will include crostini Abruzzesi, timballo teramano (a pancake with baby pork meatballs, tomato and parmesan gratin); capellini scamora pescarese (angel hair pasta with smoked Abruzzo mozarella and roasted peppers); and white chocolate ice cream marinated with Limoncello and served with watermelon.
What's more is that Aldo is offering diners the chance to pay what they think the food is worth, a scheme that recently proved extremely successful at Little Bay in Farringdon.
"Aldo is deeply committed to the earthquake fund and is already planning several trips out there to help," his spokeswoman said.
Who said I only ever cover bad things?
