 Dinner menu: recipes of cooked fish and dark chocolate | Food | Life & Style  

Hello, the readers. The month of May is one of the most enjoyable months of the year. We get two holidays to enjoy and my favorite post to do with a long weekend is to entertain friends at the Zilli house and make the pizza.

My friend Edin Basic opened what could be the best pizzeria outside of Napoli in Soho, where I opened my first restaurant in London. Firezza on Dean Street is a new social pizza experience where they make pizza by the meter in a huge oven.

But on this week's book, The Cook's Table by Stephanie Alexander - a collection of menus to make a special dinner. I chose a two course menu for you, which should take less than half an hour to prepare. Now who would you have your dinner dream?
