Note from Ricardo

A specialty of Piedmont, Italy, mostly eaten in the fall and winter. It involves soaking (bagna) raw or crisp vegetables in a warm sauce (cauda) of garlic, anchovies, butter, and oil. It’s for garlic lovers... There are a lot of variations: with or without cream, with milk, with olive or nut oil, with truffles ... It's Italian after all!
