Braciola is best when it’s prepared with love. Here’s

Art cooked for the Queen–yes, yes, Elizabeth of England! I don’t know whether he served this to her, but he did serve it at the

If the people you share this cake with don’t hug you, then you hug them. It doesn’t matter who initiates a hug–either way you get an oxytocin boost. Oxytocin is the love hormone, and if you get enough of it, you won’t be as tempted to devour the whole cake yourself; you’ll be inclined instead to pass
