  1. I love a good corn salad or corn salsa and it is perfect that all the sweet corn is at its peak now. Great idea with the parmesan in there as I have never tried it that way. A little Italian kick in there never hurt! Great recipe, Chef. Lovely as well.

  3. Do you know what happens to me when I look at your recipes? You take me back to my childhood in Argentina...Do you know why? Did you know that the biggest Italian community outside Italy is in Argentina? So, I grew up with all your dishes: your "jardinera" (in video), the braised meat, and mais, of course, I am from South America...Oh my! That food IS good !!! and my memories of a big family round the table...pasta on sundays!!
    Thanks God Italians exist !!!
