Sundays and holidays provide an opportunity for families to rest, relax, congregate and eat well. Historically speaking, the day of rest was one in which people would save the best cuts of meat, prepare more time-consuming recipes, and share the bounty of their garden with their loved ones.

Larger holidays offer a much larger culinary stage where we can showcase traditional recipes that are often prepared only once or twice a year, and awaited with much anticipation. Sundays and holidays are indeed a time when our schedule, budgets, and calorie counting are set aside to enjoy la dolce vita (the sweet life), and that, of course, starts in the kitchen!
