Alabama...Italian Style. When you think of Italian specialties, Birmingham may not be the first place that comes to mind. But Chef Frank Stitt says its time to change that. He's a traditional southern chef who wants to break down some barriers, and show the south can compete in other food arenas! Chef Frank, who wrote Bottega Favorita, told Tonia's Kitchen about his sweet pea bruschetta. It combines fresh ricotta, mint, olive oil and of course sweet peas all atop hearty grilled bread. Frank told Tonia that it makes for a wonderful springtime snack! It's something you might expect from little Italy in Brooklyn, but maybe not in Birmingham!
