She pairs it with a comforting side of wilted greens, Borlotti beans, and cured pork. John rounds out the meal with a twist on a Negroni, using artichoke liqueur for a unique sweet and sour flavor. 

Rachael serves up one of her classic brunch dishes: savory chicken meatballs with oatmeal, topped with raisins, pine nuts, and honey. Maria bakes warm cinnamon-sugar twists, while John mixes up a refreshing Sgroppino cocktail with Prosecco and lemon sorbet.

Rachael and her sister Maria, joined by friends Leida and Vina, cook up a feast in Rachael's Tuscan kitchen.

Rachael reinvents chili by combining lamb and beef chorizo for a bold, hearty twist on the classic. John shakes things up with his margarita creation, the Amaro-Rita, while Maria bakes a savory scallion and black pepper cornbread to complete the meal.
