Celebrate the Tastes of Summer

It’s time to celebrate the lighter flavors of summer. And the perfect cuisine to complement the carefree vibes of the season is… Italian. Wait, WHAT?!
 
Stay with me.
 
For some, Italian food conjures images of heavy, red sauce creations. Pans of culinary concrete that could feed an army of bricklayers – not exactly breezy summer fare!
 

 
Introducing… Coastal Italian

Heirloom Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers and Fresh Basil
 
Imagine a jubilant celebration of the Amalfi Coast. Fresh salt air. Vibrant Mediterranean flavors. Sun-kissed heirloom tomatoes bursting with freshness! Coastal Italian isn’t your grandma’s Italian – it’s bright, light, and fresh, yet completely satisfying to the soul. It’s the best of Southern Italy, with a beachy twist.
 
Leading this remarkable culinary journey is Chef Shawn McClain, the James Beard Award recipient and Iron Chef America champ. He’s the creative brain behind Balla Italian Soul at SAHARA Las Vegas.

Chef Shawn!
