Recipes

  1. Scallops with Potato Pancakes and Caviar Sauce

    Vinny Dotolo found inspiration for this elegant dish by thinking about New Year's Eve classics. Both Champagne and caviar flavor the butter sauce that he spoons over seared scallops set on mini potato pancakes.

  2. Cheesy Calzones

    Calzones are pizzas that have been transformed into turnovers. The same dough and toppings that are used for pizzas can be used to make calzones.

  3. Braised Beef with Red Wine Sauce

    The chunky ragu in this sauce is typical of the traditional tomato-based sauce of Bologna. Serve this classic main dish when you are in the mood for Italian cuisine.
