It's that time of year again...

That's right - it's Delicious magazine's annual Italian issue! Woo hoo! I adore Italian food. It's my absolute favourite cuisine, and a magazine exclusively devoted to it is my idea of heaven.

Here are my top six - I tried to narrow it down to five but couldn't -picks (I'll be cooking at least one this weekend):

1. Baked gnocchi with prawns
2. Pancetta and taleggio pennoni
3. Vitello Tonnato
4. Creamy mascarpone lasagne
5. Baci Gelato with hazelnut and white chocolate slab
6. No-churn amaretti ice cream with amaretto almonds

I'll let you know how they turn out!
