I’m taking you on a trip to Italy with me tonight! In tonight’s episode, we are starting right out of the gate like racehorses with the classic Italian cocktail the Negroni! Next, I will show you my take on a classic Italian bolognese which I’ve transformed into comfort food with my pot pie spin! We’re also going to have a little fun building our appetizer with all the goodies you find in Italy and we are going to pair our rich dinner with a big bold Barolo! Strap in for a tour of Italy you’re sure to love!
Please put suggestions for future episodes in the comments.
Thank you!
