We will take ourselves to Southern Italy
right at the beginning of Spring and
prepare a typical menu to celebrate
the new season. We will start with a
risotto of artichokes, then roast a leg
of lamb flavored with fresh herbs,
garlic and olive oil with roasted
potatoes. Our roast will be
accompanied by fresh spring peas
sautéed with onions. To finish off, a
special dessert that is too pretty to eat
but delicious in every bite. It looks like
a real peach, and is even called
“Pesche” (Peaches), yet it contains no
peach at all. It is a one-of-a-kind
dessert found in the region where I
grew up, that I have never seen made
or served elsewhere.
