Nothing beats the sweet smell of an Italian dessert. I love it! Growing up, my family made all kinds of Italian food from homemade Italian bread to fresh authentic raviolis. However, nothing beats the desserts we used to make. That warm inviting smell of cookies and pizzelles baking in the oven takes me right back to all the holidays and fun we had, and still do, as a family. Fortunately, that same delicious food has been recreated and perfected in the style of WFPB. Try it yourself! You might just be surprised at the amazing results.
