Bright, intensely lemony 🍋🍋, perfectly balanced, and incredible served ice-cold with friends… or bottled as a beautiful homemade gift.
... And yes — if you’re already thinking about Christmas gifts, now is the perfect time to start!
I’m especially proud of this recipe because I didn’t just follow tradition. I refined the formula using a little science… okay, quite a lot of science. 🤓 (Did I mention I have a PhD in biochemistry?)
From alcohol concentration and extraction time to sugar balance and final ABV, I worked through all the details so you don’t have to — and so your homemade Limoncello can be truly outstanding.
I can’t wait for you to try it! 💛
This is 'Members Only' for members of the 'Accademia' Tier. If you haven't yet joined, now is a great time as we have many more Masterclasses coming soon... including a Tiramisù fit for an Italian pastry shop!

Frequent PIATTO contributor Nicole from @SweetSavoryWorld has a fantastic guide to maximizing your fresh produce and herbs — while simultaneously getting a jump start on creating unique heartfelt gifts for the holidays!

I have to admit, these herb and citrus ‘tinctures’ have become my new favorite thing 😍 and (fun fact) Italian Limoncello (coming soon) is — like so many Italian liquors and liqueurs — at its heart an extract!
Quick Note: If you want to maximize citrus as an extract, choose 95% - 96% ABV alcohol (like Everclear). The fragrant and flavorful notes in citrus extract better in high proof alcohol :)

I'll admit it: I love peanut butter! 🥜❤️
But, when I first start looking at the labels on peanut butter in the U.S., I was confused 😳 — to say the least.
In this NEW article available on Substack, I take a deep dive into American peanut butter from the perspective of a scientist 👉 pastaaffair.substack.com/p/not-just-peanuts-whats-…
In the article, I cover:
✅ What does the FDA allow in ‘peanut butter’ and why
✅ Common peanut butter additives — and their health implications
✅ How to read a peanut butter label like a scientist
✅ Top 4 Salmonella peanut butter scandals: brands involved and where they are now
What say you? What are your priorities when it comes to peanut butter?
