You’ll find both everyday Italian recipes and special, gourmet dishes for your gatherings and celebrations. You can relax with simple and easy recipes, or challenge yourself into two days leavening breads (hello rainy weekends!). Servings are for two people, to be duplicated as desired. Measures are in gr, cups and oz.
