Inspired by a recent trip to Florence, Ina is re-creating a fabulous Florentine feast for friends back home in East Hampton. There's a mozzarella master class with a local cheese maker; an Italian drinks tray inspired by cocktails and store-bought hors d'oeuvres sampled at the fabulous Lungarno hotel in Florence; Baked Fish in Parchment; Parmesan Polenta; and Affogato Sundaes, the easiest Italian dessert ever. Ina's guests will collect Italian wine and set the table Italian-style.
Bring a bottle of olive oil and some parmesan!. Ina's Italian importer friend is coming to dinner and she's making an Italian feast. Tuscan white bean soup, herbed roast leg of lamb, roasted fennel and summer fruits with vanilla mascapone.
