    BRUSCHETTA CON POMODORINI E MOZZARELLA – p. 164 Delicious twist on an old favourite antipasti. The twist here is that the sliced bufala (in my case) mozzarella is sliced and placed atop toasted bread then topped w roasted tomatoes. The toasts are then drizzled w evoo and dusted w dried oregano, S&P before placing into the oven for the cheese to melt. What emerges are flavour-packed little toasts. The juicy sweet-tart roasted cherry tomatoes work perfectly with the creaminess of the melty cheese and it only took moments for these to disappear from everyone’s plates. I really liked the use of dried oregano at this time of year when basil isn’t locally available – nor does fresh basil fare well in the oven so this too was a nice change of pace. A pleasant surprise and a dish we’ll definitely have again. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/892459#8017824

Publishers Text

When an Italian cooks dinner, it's always a meal to savour and enjoy with as many people as can be found to share it with. In GENNARO'S HOME COOKING, Gennaro shares his favourite family recipes - the ones that will feed a crowd of hungry guests, from his 90-year-old father to his three-year-old twin girls. Older generations give advice, all hands are on deck to help, and the whole family sit themselves down at the large dining table to join in the feast together. The table is like the altar - to eat, drink, discuss, argue and confess - but most of all to enjoy the wonderful food! All the recipes cater for large numbers of people, but have tips on how to adapt them for smaller groups, there are hints on how to prepare things in advance and advice on which dishes go with what, so it is full of creative menu ideas. With GENNARO'S HOME COOKING you have everything you need to make your own kitchen a little slice of Italy.
