Even if the closest we can get to dining with the Alba clan is in the form of this spicy add-on to her ciabatta chicken sausage stuffing recipe (yum) we'll take it — but she also encourages drawing from your own family history to really personalize any recipe. Even the most doomed culinary experiment can be saved with "enough butter and love," so don't be afraid to play with the spices and flavors that feel most like home. Just allow yourself enough time to fully enjoy your guests when the big day rolls around. It's something Alba has learned from experience: "I have made the mistake of getting ready when all the guests are there and my hair is wet and I’m trying to throw my red lip on and it’s just stressful."
