Episode #42 - Italian Wine Cookies with Special Guest Italian Grandmother Nina Scapillati

In Episode #42 we are in Castropignano, Italy with special guest Italian Grandmother Nina Scapillati. Nina is going to teach us how to make Italian White Wine Cookies also known as Ciambelline Vino Bianco (White Wine Donuts) . If you have some leftover white wine (all you need is 1 cup) this is a delicious way to use it. If you grew up in a traditional Italian household these cookies will back lots of good memories. Watch to get the step by step instructions on how you can make these Italian cookies. You are going to want to invite your friends over for coffee so they can taste how yummy they are especially if you dip it in your coffee. One important ingredient that Nonna always adds to her recipe is cooking with her heart. So, be sure when you make this you do it with all your heart. Enjoy!
