And I wasn’t invited! ;P
It all loks so very good…especially the cross between ice cream and hevean.

What gorgeous food! Ever so scrumptious looking! I’m drooling…

Cheers,

What a feast and the piste d’resistance, the tortoni! Yumm.

I think next Father’s Day I will come to your house and join your family — what a feast!

Wow, what a spread…looks absolutely fantastic. My tummy is rumbling as I type. That asparagus looks delicious and the tortoni…wow!

Anche nella mia famiglia non si è mai festeggiata la festa della mamma (seconda domenica di maggio) e la festa del papà (19 aprile - san Giuseppe). Anche i miei genitori hanno sempre detto che ogni giorno deve essere festeggiato. Buonissimi i tuoi piatti… e quella torta gigante… “tortona” è favolosa.
Ciao.

What a feast! And to think I almost bought that magazine but I didn’t because I have sooo many others…
Every dish looks aboslutely delicious and those artichokes!

May parents also didn’t pay attention to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day because they too thought parents should be honoured every day.

Great post and great pictures Ivonne. I am going to buy that magazine right now!

ciao..

“they instilled in us the belief that honouring your parents is something you should do all the time.” my parents taught me the same thing - I believe that mothers and fathers should be celebrated each and every day!!

although everything looks delicious (as always), that Tortoni cake is calling my name!! :0D

I made the tortoni a few weeks ago too and loved it!

Oh my gosh this menu sounds amazing. I am making my shopping list right now. Clarice

Ivonne: Of course I recognize that Tortoni recipe from the Gourmet issue just received and I thought it looked to so totally awesome…And I also think that asparagus and pancetta recipe looks amazing, too. I’m going to go through my magazines today and see what I can make! Hopefully I’ll have a post up later today. I’ll let you know.

Everything looks delicious! I agree with your dad: Everyday should be Mother’s and Father’s day.

Paz xxoo

Can you say OMG? These all look fab.

Magazines are pretty much all I cook from, with the exception of a cookbook here and there!

That meal looks positively extraordinary!!

Ivonne: My Magazine Monday contribution is up:

Here.

Yum, Ivonne! Everything looks equally delicious!

I am not sure I can find amaretti for the Tortoni. Any alternatives for the crust?

Beautiful photos. It all looks amazing! I love grilling pizzas. It has become a regular dinner at our house. Don’t you love how crunchy the crust gets? Mmm…

Wow! You’ve been busy! I can’t decide which one to try first!

p.s. I’ve tagged you!

Can I say YUMMMM????!!!

That looks like a great feast, so tasty!

Ivonne, Every single one of these look divine! I’ll start with the artichokes, please!!

Re: everyday being Mother’s/Father’s Day–I feel the same way about Valentine’s Day…I used to work in a card shop and it was quite obvious when people were only paying attention to (whomever) because of the calendar.

Your menu looks delicious.

Wow! Love the idea for Magazine Mondays. I’ll be going through my mags this week!

OMG. You made the whole menu. You’re such a stud! I’ve made all but the artichokes and tortoni. We loved the pizza, and I used pork instead of veal…Mmmm…your photos are gorgeous and it’s making me want it all over again!

I cook dinner, complete with dessert every Sunday and have my parents over. I love doing it but one Sunday I would love to sit at your table for these fabulous meals! Awesome job, as usual.

I have always wanted to partake in your magazine Mondays, thought it was a great idea. I think I may join you for a few!

Italian June? Magazine Mondays? How did I miss all this wonderful food?

I can say it and then I can eat it
Oh yes I can!!!

Stracciatella Tortoni Cake with Espresso Fudge Sauce..?? Good grief, do I ever want to reach through the screen and grab some! I can almost smell it….(drooling).

Ivonne ~ Such a wonderful, summery spread! It is wonderful to be so inspired. I have to say that it seems Gourmet has lifted its game. I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of the new format this year (last year, it seems that they were still finding their way). It must be said - the tortoni looks incredible. I’ve bookmarked this recipe for summer (North American summer, for I’m heading to LA in August).

Considering I’ve never heard of tortoni before today, it seems to have inexplicably become my favourite word all of a sudden. I just can’t explain it…

What a feast :o) such unique food, too. I would have liked to sample everything!! Hope you’re having a great weekend, Ivonne!

Oh! your meal looks so good. A lot of work I know but fun to prepare for everyone! I love the gourmet magazine too. Will you post a recipe for the cake?? it sure looks yummy.

Ooooh you sucked me in with that Tortoni!!!! I am heading to the grocery store today and might pick up some ingedients and try it out. Hope it isn’t toooo hard!

Tortoni! Tortoni! I can’t stop saying it now! Will I get some if I say it enough?

Magazine Mondays sounds like fun, I’ll try to get in on it next week. Thanks for the great idea!

That was just not enough food for one post. Really, you’re getting awfully lazy. I kid of course! Seriously, I’m exhausted just thinking about making that many dishes for one blog post. Bravo!

Holy! Yummo.

Everything looks delicious Ivonne! Your family gatherings must be wonderful feasts

very nice pictures. especially the tart!

OOOH! What fun to see that you made this tortoni! I made it also and it was so yummy! I can’t believe you made the whole menu - I’m totally impressed!

WOW, pass me some tortini! great spread

I’ve now made the tortoni TWICE for company and it is such an amazingly delicious dessert. I ate all the leftover sauce myself, just a spoonful a day. For the person who couldn’t find amaretti, I found some at our local World Market (Cost Plus) or your local Co-Op might have them.
