Berries with Limoncello
Limoncello (lee-mon-CHAY-low) is a lemon - flavoured liqueur from Italy’s Amalfi coast, and possibly Mike’s favourite liqueur. It is traditionally served after a meal, ice cold, and stored in the freezer. The first time we had Limoncello was in Rome, compliments of the Chef. That led to another round for the group and dessert! Smart Chef.

- *Mint grows like a weed so it’s easy to have on hand, however, we were away this spring for a few weeks and our potted plant never made it. It sells out quickly at the garden stores but is usually available at the market. A great summer herb to have on hand.
