I’ve been working on my first book 📚 - a brea I’ve been working on my first book 📚 - a bread book - for a long time and I’ve finally released it into the world! 🥳 ⠀ ⠀ The recipes came into my life through family, friends and travels, and so each recipe has a story on its history and how I discovered it. The book’s recipes have been tested in different environments, and climates to ensure they have the best chance to work for you. ⠀ ⠀ ✨The goal of this book is simplicity - everyone should know the joy of baking their own bread 🍞 and it doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. People reach out to me daily letting me know how they never thought they could make bread, or how my Rustic Italian Bread reminds them of their childhood. 💕⠀ ⠀ I’m really proud of the final product. In addition to the recipes, I styled, photographed 📷 and edited all food photos as well as the shots from all around Italy from my travels. I got to perform many roles pulling this book together, which is probably why it took so long! 😁⠀ ⠀ Rustic Italian Bread for the Modern Kitchen is now available on Amazon, Apple or as a direct download. 🙌 Link in bio ⬆️ ⠀ ⠀ It’s been an adventure! 🥂 Now I’m off writing the second book! I’ll give you a hint: dolce! 🥰 ⠀ ⠀ #rusticbread #italianbread #breadrecipes #rusticitalianbread #easybread #breadmaking #breadbaking
Spritz Cocktails🍹are popular aperitifs in Italy Spritz Cocktails🍹are popular aperitifs in Italy that are worth exploring. 🔍

The Aperol Spritz aka the Spritz Veneziano originated in Venice and is made with Prosecco, soda water, and Aperol, an Italian bitter. ⠀ ⠀ I do find that people either like it or they don’t. I think the Aperol Spritz is crisp, refreshing and perfect on a hot day. ✨⠀ ⠀ I use Brut Prosecco🥂 (a drier style, less sweet), which will make a difference in this cocktail. ⠀ ⠀ Check out the recipe and give it a try! I’m curious to know what you think.⠀ .⠀ Aperol Spritz🍹link in bio ⬆️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #aperol⠀ #aperolspritz⠀ #summercocktails⠀ #spritz⠀ #amalficoast⠀ #italiancocktails⠀ #sorrentobars
