Dream of Summer
Season 12 Episode 1225 | 26m 46s | CC
Nothing compares to the anticipation of summer. Zucchini Soup with Eggs and Cheese is my version of stracciatella, which I served to my grandkids when they were little. I reminisce about Grandma whenever I shell fava beans myself, waiting for the crowd to come and enjoy this dish, Fava Beans with Mint. Shrimp and Tomato Risotto sings of summer, but it could be made any time of year.
