Summary: When we think of Italian foods, we think of pizza, lasagna and other heavy meals which suggest a nap when your eyes are bigger than your stomach. If Italians ate such food all of the time, they would never get any work done. In order to stay active after a good dose of their delicious cuisine, Italian food researchers discovered how to remove a significant amount of weight from these delicious dishes, yet keep all of the flavor. In this series of carefully engineered meal planning videos, you too will see the benefits of hours and hours of food research without suffering the enlarged bellies suffered by the initial test subjects.

Our Italian cuisine expert shows you how to prepare a delightful light lunch. The oven-dried tomato sandwiches feature fontina cheese and the arugula, radicchio and marzipan which does double duty in the salad. To top off this meal, she demonstrates how to prepare delicious lebon mascarpone tarts. Healthy yet easy-to-prepare, this meal brings the delights of a summer day in Italy right into your kitchen.
