Issue No. 1384: April 13, 2023

With spring break in full swing and summer vacation on the mind, I thought it would be fun to share some cooking and sipping inspiration from one of my favorite travel destinations: Italy! First, learn to work with orzo, an easy and versatile pasta that’s great in everything from cheesy bakes to light soups. Then enjoy a quick, refreshing apertivo before indulging in some delicious recipes using silky burrata. Perhaps all this Italian cooking will inspire your next international vacation!

Ciao,

Tanji
