What's with Diabetes?

I have talked about diabetes incessantly over the years and it's been like beating my little head against a wall. How has this almost completely preventable disease become an industry in our modern culture and how can we take back control of our wellness...and our blood sugar levels? It's easy and delicious. Let's talk about creating a truly sweet life. Recipes: Budino ai Cioccolato; Fennel Salad with Lemon.

Pizza!!!!!!!!! NEW

If I could have only one meal before I died, it would be pizza. I love the yeasty perfume of pizza baking, the spicy gravy smothered on top; the veggies, the crunch of the outer crust, the breadiness; the flavors. Nature's perfect food, in my view, began in Naples, so it's off we go to see how pizza became the food we love so much. Recipes: Calzone; Neapolitan Pizza; Florentine Apple Cake.

Zero Waste

It's easy to forget the importance of buying fresh food in our busy lives - and remembering to use it before it spoils. As Americans, we waste between 30-40% of the food we purchase. That's almost 120 billion pounds each year! On the other hand, food waste in Italy is 4-5% thanks to an unparalleled reverence towards smart shopping, seasonal ingredients, and sustainable practices. Today's dishes are all about working with what you've got and cleaning out the fridge in a delicious way. We'll also visit a pasta mill in Pienza that has been practicing zero-waste principles for generations. Recipes: Kitchen Sink Soup; Ciambotta over Farro
