    We return to Calabria to prepare some of the
    seasonal dishes when the ingredients are at
    their peak.  Fava beans will be ready to be
    picked in my garden and wild fennel will readily
    abundant.  Fresh anchovies are also available,
    and we’ll use them to make one of my favorite
    dishes, Tortiera d'alici -  fresh anchovies
    layered with breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and
    pecorino cheese and baked in the oven.
    We will also make a parmigiana di zucchini
    similar to its cousin made with eggplant … in
    this version we use zucchini, which are very
    common in Calabria.  To finish, one of my
    favorite semifreddi that I enjoyed in the town of
    Pizzo last summer.  A coffee semifreddo with a
    layer of sponge cake soaked in espresso at
    the bottom
