Architect’s Pasta

Pasta dell’Architetto , as it is referred to in Sicily was contributed to Eating Well magazine by the Sicilian Architect and winery owner , Giusto Occhipinti .

Roasted Delicata Squash with Apples

A delicious fall side dish

Peperonata

Peperonata is a very tasty dish, ideal as an accompaniment to meats. It is shown here as an accompaniment to Pork Spiedini. The ingredients can be found throughout the year so that one can enjoy it at room temperature on a hot summer day and piping hot in the winter.

Red Wine Braised Boneless Short Ribs

These Red Wine Braised Boneless Short Ribs and easy and delicious. Cooked low and slow, this is perfect winter comfort food! For the wine, pick a higher quality red from one of the economy locations such as Argentina, Chile, or Spain.

Moroccan / Spanish Orange Salad

A triad of flavours - Orange, Olive and Dates!

Cream of Chicken and Fennel Soup

Rich and satisfying, this chicken soup gets an unexpected yet delicious infusion of flavour from fennel. Both chopped fennel bulbs and crushed fennel seeds provide a nice anise-scented touch to this extra smooth soup.

Hummus - Chickpea Spread

German Apple Pancakes
