Viva Italia

Of course my first food post would be something Italian, even dishes I have never made before...  For my first food styling attempt I started to realize I was way over my head, but willingly accepted the challenge to create a seafood pasta dish and stuffed calamari.  Here is a food story in collaboration with my favorite food photographer Ryan Blanski.
