our italian recipes

As someone who loves to cook, I find garlic to be an absolutely crucial ingredient in my kitchen.  It adds so much depth and richness to even the simplest recipes.  Plus, I love the way it makes my house smell! Ever walk into a house where someone has just sauteed …

I’ve made calamari in many different ways and I strongly believe that sauteed calamari is my favorite. Here's a great recipe to try at home!
