IN THIS CHAPTER

Learning about seasonality in the Italian kitchen

Creating authentic Sunday suppers and holiday meals

Mastering menu planning for special occasions

Glancing through a calendar, an Italian cook won’t just think about what they have to do, they’ll also think about what they get to cook, and of course, serve and eat!

There are three key factors to pay attention to when menu planning, and they are what I refer to as the three S’s: seasons, Sundays, and special occasions (holidays).

In this chapter, you learn how and what to cook for the seasons, Sundays (or your day of rest), and special occasions, Italian-style with menus and suggestions using the recipes in this book exclusively. These menus are simple guides that demonstrate the progression of customary courses and the way ingredients are paired together and used seasonally. Feel free to alter them to suit your needs and tastes.
