That sounds so good

Carla Lalli Music, what a wonderful name that is. This talented Italian-American cooks to the stars in the United States. Her second cookbook has now been translated, except for the title, because it already sounds good. Her recipes also sound like music to our ears, as they are easy to make with a glass of wine in hand. - TEXT RECIPES: CARLA LALLI MUSIC | IMAGE RECIPES: ANDREA GENTL AND MARTIN HYERS

Her latest cookbook features 100 recipes for every day of the week. At the front, she writes: 'For Uncle Renato, who loved food, family and red wine.'
