Skewers of shrimp, veal and sausage perfumed with herbs and grilled over glowing coals.
Pastas with unique and ways-to prepare sauces: fusfulli with grilled vegetables, pasta with fresh tuna and mint, perciatelli with pancetta and red wine.
Rustic cakes and elegant mascarpone flavored with espresso and chocolate; the ultimate tiramisu; luscious figs braised in honey and wine.
Plus a special section on ingredients and techniques for marinating everything from radicchio and olives to sardines, peppers,, mushrooms, onions, and more.
