Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Italian dark and stormy

    • TrishaCP on December 30, 2020

      Yes, please.

  • Marinated zucchini

    • twoyolks on September 05, 2018

      These were very simple but very tasty. One of my favorite marinated zucchini recipes. I didn't have baby zucchini so I sliced zucchini 1/4" thick.

  • Grilled red snapper wrapped in fig leaves

    • TrishaCP on August 01, 2020

      We liked this - but the fig leaves proved a subtle note against the anchovy butter. Since I took the time to wrap the fish, I would have liked to taste the fig leaves more prominently.

  • Porchetta-style chicken

    • twoyolks on May 15, 2016

      The chicken comes out a beautiful golden brown. It did take longer to cook it than the recipe specified by about 15 minutes. The lemon flavor dominates the remaining flavors in the spice rub.
