This recipe comes from a friend and client of mine (thanks for sharing Patty). Very refreshing, this is a great summer dish, and easy to prepare.

Red Wine Risotto With Peas
This recipe comes from Giada’s Family Dinners cookbook. Now…I have to admit, the finished product looks a bit drab, but it is quite the opposite.

The main character is charming … Continue reading
