For an aperitif with friends, or for a complete and tasty one-pot meal, you don't need to spend whole days preparing. Choose a delicious Mushroom Aperitif or a Caesar Salad with artichokes and mushrooms and you're done.

The Mushroom Aperitif requires only 3 ingredients: Delicious Tuna with Porcini Mushrooms, Artichokes & Tuna and some fresh bread.

The Caesar Salad with Artichokes and Mushrooms requires a few more ingredients, but the result will be spectacular. A revised and corrected version of the American kitchen classic, invented almost a hundred years ago by Cesare Cardini: there is indeed a pinch of Italy even in one of the most international of recipes.
