Sandra and Martin reflect on their recent visit to the Italian American Museum on Mulberry Street in New York, where they met the celebrated cook, Mary Ann Esposito, host of the PBS classic Ciao Italia. The main section is all about prosciutto di parma and they sample the finest: Galloni Riserva. Afterwards they have an engaging conversation about the Galloni prosciutto with Kim Sayid. Kim is an Italian food expert and has worked with Fratelli Galloni for many years. Grab some prosciutto, a good bottle of wine, a mozzarella, a little drizzle of olive oil, sit back, relax and enjoy.

Sandra takes her brother and sister-in-law on a series of Bronx adventures that began on Arthur Avenue and ended in a tire shop on the Southern Boulevard. Martin and Sandra eat a variety of treats from Wave Hill Bakery in Norwalk. In the main section, they speak with Steve Solomon, a college friend of Martin's. Steve is an outstanding bread baker and pizza maker.

Sandra and Martin discuss the new Netflix film Nonnas. They also explore 3 distinctive books: a novel, The Italian Party, 101 Beautiful Towns in Italy - Shops and Crafts, and Made in Italy. These books bring them to the medieval town of Volterra famous for its alabaster workshops and home to a distinctive style of pizza. This leads them to Citarella, a high end grocery store in Greenwich, Connecticut that makes a delicious pizza in the Volterran style.

Eat prosciutto! Read books! Eat pizza!
