My Italian Comfort Food
September holidays are over and I come back home from Romagna full of flavors of the sea … but not only. The greatest gift I take home is the cassoni legendary recipe! The so-called “younger brothers” of piadina but certainly not for me who ate it in abundance. For those unfamiliar with them, these are […]

So recommended as the base I used (a real novelty ready to use!), very […]

SERVES 4 PEOPLE READY IN 20′ INGREDIENTS: 1 pizza dough sheet (I used Stuffer) 1 tablespoon extra virgin […]
