At home with a Chef: French toast made by an Italian chef for his Australian wife & Canadian kids - Good start to our weekend off!!

If this wine really existed, we'd all want a great big glass of it !! As we say goodbye and good riddance to 2020, we hope that the New Year brings everyone health, wealth and happiness ! Giuseppe and I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who've supported us during this tough time (especially those who have ordered weekly without fail since March).
