Frico is made from potatoes, onions, and a cow’s milk cheese called montasio. Depending on its age (30 days, 90 days or up to 18 months), montasio can taste like three different kinds of cheeses. Frico is usually made from the adolescent one. No matter the age, montasio is delicious...

My breakfast of choice is something many people might not actually eat for breakfast: pasta and eggs. I'm not talking carbonara. My pasta and eggs are garlicky, spicy, and a bit salty!

Limoncello: I had drunk it often as a digestivo, an after-dinner drink said to aid in digestion. I don’t know how much the limoncello actually did for my digestion, but I certainly felt happier after drinking it. It was lemony, sweet, cloudy, and even though it's meant to be sipped, it can go down a bit too quickly. While it’s now quite easy to find limoncello in the States (I even saw it for sale at a rural gas station), I wanted to make my own.

Made from lemon sorbet, Prosecco, and limoncello, sgroppino is frothy, puckery-sweet, and a little bit naughty.
