Branzino, also known as European sea bass, is a delicious white fish with a mild flavor. I like to cook them whole, stuffed with lemon wedges, fresh oregano, and rosemary before roasting them for an easy dinner full of Greek flavor.

Cacio e Pepe Taralli (Savory Italian Pretzels)
Often served with (and dipped in!) white wine, taralli are a fun and versatile Italian snack you can flavor all sorts of ways. This pepper and cheese variety starts with a simple unleavened dough starring white wine and olive oil. Rolled into ropes, then into rings, they're boiled and sprinkled with cheese before baking. Once baked, the cheese forms a crispy wafer in the middle of the ring!
