In Italy, kitchen is the heart of the home. It's where the whole family enjoys food from its preparation to the table and ultimately each other's company.
While you only need good food and good mood to make everyone in your kitchen feel home, there are small and handy housewarming things that can bring Italian charm to your kitchen.
