We are blessed to live in a bread-filled city and are spoilt for choice. Besides the high-quality bakeries in each neighborhood, we've met many home cooks who have taken up bread making and confess to baking too many loaves to eat. Don't toss out old bread or feed it to the birds! Viola brings new inspiration to transform leftover bread into unexpected creations and reduce waste in your kitchen. Learn ways to maximize flavors and resources with Italian flair with Viola Buitoni, who sees leftover odds and ends as inspiration for her next tasty bite.
