Welcome to my kitchen! Today I will be sharing with you one of my all-time favorite recipes, zuppa di pesce, also known as cioppino. This traditional Italian seafood stew is a perfect dish for a cozy family dinner or a gathering with friends. And the best part? This version does not require any broth, making it a more natural and flavorful dish. As my granma always said, simple ingredients make the best dishes. So, let’s get cooking!
