It’s extended Christmas in Italy! With La Befana

or also known as The Epiphany being celebrated this week, we’re getting an upgrade in chocolates n sweets filled in those stockings, traditional cakes or home-made dishes and beverages centered around the table, and coal (coal-shaped candy if odds are in favor)  in store for children on the Naughty List.

Legend has it that it is La Befana herself that is visiting homes via chimney whilst flying around her broom and stories date back to the 8th Century.

To find out more about the holiday and its significance, listen to our podcast in which we’ll also be sharing a Vienna Coffee recipe followed by additional Winter Recipes from our guest

Chef Dennis Littley to put forth a cozy-no-spooky evening!
