Didn’t expect to be returning to Las Vegas so soon after our fateful trip with Mamma Rosa, but we’re heading back to Sin City!

We’ll be at the Winter Fancy Food Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. There, we’ll be hanging out with the team from ‘Nduja USA! 🌶️

If you’re in town, swing by booth 1310 to try some ‘nduja! Hope to see you there!

This isn’t exactly going to be another “How to Make Ragù alla Bolognese” video.

The classic and beloved ragù has a complicated and evolving story behind it, and today we’re exploring the traditional recipe… and explaining why we make a significantly different version.

Many of you met Eva's parents in a recent video, and some of you gave suggestions about what to show them while they're visiting us in America. We listened, and decided to take them on an epic American road trip to see some of the best (and a little bit of the worst) that this beautiful country has to offer!

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... unless you film the whole thing and publish it on a YouTube channel.

A lovely Christmas surprise from ! Not only a bunch of ‘nduja, but also their new jarred version and a “scalda ‘nduja,” which is a neat Calabrian device for melting ‘nduja to serve.

Thanks for keeping up the good work and making this amazing ingredient available in the States!

Fruitcake is perhaps the most mocked, maligned and mistreated Christmas dessert there is. But here we are, against all odds, with a darn fruitcake recipe!

And it's all because of a fateful Christmas where Eva decided to make a northern Italian recipe, "Zelten," for her southern Italian family...

For YEARS I have found an enormous amount of entertainment and amusement in watching Eva's dad, Papa Turi, eat cookies. He eats cookies every single day of his life and is somewhat of a connoisseur (Eva would say "picky").

It's hard to describe why I enjoy watching him sample new cookies so much, so I thought it would be best to show you by introducing him to a bunch of American cookies he hasn't tried before.

Hope you enjoy!

Pasta isn't just for boiling! Baked pasta (known as "pasta al forno" in Italy) is one of the best ways to make a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can feed a crowd in a pinch. One of the cool things about pasta al forno is that you can make it using just about anything you have on hand, provided you follow a few guidelines...

In today's video, Eva is sharing the basics of pasta al forno so that you can whip up a perfect baked pasta: anytime, anywhere.

After many years of eating a LOT of braciole, I've learned an important lesson: pretty much all braciole are great, but some are extraordinary. To show the difference between the "basic" braciola and an over-the-top braciola, we're bringing in the master himself: Eva's dad.
..and you're not going to believe how he makes the best braciole we've ever tasted.

Eva's parents are visiting us in America for the first time! They just arrived from Calabria, and the first thing we had to do was take them shopping. Where would you take someone who is new to America for groceries?

We decided on... Costco.

About a year and a half ago, we shared the news that we had purchased an old, abandoned restaurant in the middle of nowhere in rural Calabria. It was so exciting! ...but then the reality of purchasing and renovating a historic building in southern Italy set in.

In today's video, we're sharing the WHOLE story of "The Locanda" and the many trials and tribulations that we've faced along the way. We hope our struggles can at least provide some... entertainment.

'Nduja is one of our favorite ingredients! If you're not familiar with this delicious treat, it's a soft, spreadable, spicy Calabrian salami and we love it because it's so versatile. I've often said that you can add 'nduja to just about any dish to spice things up. But is that true?

Today we're putting my hypothesis to the test with a challenge for Eva: she has to cook three of my favorite childhood dishes (not Italian food!) using 'nduja. Check out the new video for some fun inspiration on how to use this incredible ingredient in creative ways!

Quattro Formaggi, or "Four Cheeses," is a classic Italian flavor combination that pairs (you guessed it) four different cheeses into the perfect blend of cheesy goodness. But which cheeses should you use? And what dishes can you Quattro Formaggi-fy?

In today's video, Eva is sharing the secrets of this blend, plus some unusual quattro formaggi recipes that most people have never thought to try!

Our cookbook, “The Italian Family Kitchen,” is officially published! 🎉 We’re thrilled that this passion project, which has been years in the making, is finally realized.

We’re so grateful to everyone who supported us along the way, especially the people of Dasà because it’s all thanks to them that Eva grew up cooking, eating and discussing good food. We’re lucky to be celebrating with them in Calabria!

A huge thank you to everyone who pre-ordered the book and we hope you enjoy it! If you want to check it out, click here to find The Italian Family Kitchen on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart and more: https://geni.us/italianfamilykitchen

Pizza dough is just for pizza, right? I certainly would have thought so, until I witnessed how Eva uses it.

Inevitably when Eva makes pizza at home, there's always some leftover dough—that's when the creativity kicks in! Turns out that pizza dough can be used to make an almost infinite number of tasty treats besides pizza, using just about anything you happen to have in the fridge or pantry. The options are so limitless, that I've never had the same thing twice!

In today's video, Eva's sharing the basic techniques for repurposing pizza dough so that you can improvise at home and come up with your own delicious creations. All she has to work with is a big batch of dough and whatever happens to be in the fridge...

6 years ago today, I brought a beautiful Italian gal I had just met her first slice of blueberry pie. Didn’t realize it at the time, but that slice of pie would change my life forever 😍

A few years ago, Eva and I traveled to the tiny Italian region of Molise and discovered an exceptional pork dish that I have been dreaming about ever since. It's a very rare recipe that few Italians have even heard of, but definitely deserves much more attention.

We finally decided that it was time to try and recreate the recipe at home. There's only one catch: Eva knew just as much about it as I did, and since I'm the "meat guy" in the household...

Buckle up, it's time for me to get cooking!

Have you ever had a bunch of leftover risotto and been unsure what to do with it? Yeah, neither have we.

In any case, there are quite a few Italian dishes that were invented to use up leftovers, and they're so good that they're worth making even if "leftover pasta" is a foreign concept to you. Time to intentionally make some leftovers!
