This is a long-standing appetizer around here because it’s super simple to prepare and has a sweet-salty combo that’s a crowd pleaser. We love the Manchego Arugula Bresaola Hand Roll recipe and we know you will too.

It’s known as ‘dome sickness’ in our family. You won’t find a definition in any other dictionary because it’s my Mom’s term and she’d define it as an intense longing for the duomo of Florence and for Italy in general. To cure my latest bout of dome sickness, I’ve been scraping together (literally) this Orange Espresso Granita recipe. It’s a classic Southern Italian recipe with the addition of orange juice, cocoa, and some liqueur for something that’s more than meets the eye. And, let’s be honest, it’s a pretty great way to breath new life into leftover coffee.
This Pan Roasted Italian Mushrooms recipe is one of those dishes I started making when I lived in Florence and it has stuck with me because of how simple it is. I sometimes serve these pan roasted mushrooms with this Sostanza Brown Butter Chicken, or tossed with a bit of crème fraîche and noodles for a simple pasta.
