Cibo Italiano

Panzenella is a Tuscan bread salad, ideal for summer which does not follow a particular recipe. The two ingredients that do not change are tomatoes and bread. This salad is great with a chilled glass of Prosecco and lots of sunshine.

Caprese Salad with Pesto Sauce: Juicy tomato and mozzarella cheese salad with pesto sauce. Topped with the freshness of basil.

Bruschetta: Country bread sliced and topped with different toppings. The evergreen tomato-basil and mushroom-garlic. The classic Italian starter.

Focaccia Bread: Fresh dough is topped with caramelized onions, olives, tomato slices, basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese, baked delicious.

Inspired by Venaz's recipe, Divya Burman brings to you a hot plate of creamy mushroom risotto with her own modifications.
