  1. Bravo e mi piace molto quello che proponi. Bene anche per i sottotitoli in italiano che non sempre sono disponibili. Ciao dall' Italia e dalla Sardegna ❤

  2. This looks amazing! Tip from a chef: lay your grape tomatoes on your cutting board, cover with a small plate or saucer, hold with one hand and slice horizontally under the plate. Cut all the grape tomatoes in half at once saves time!
