The Simpler the Better - Sensational Italian Meals
One of my favorite foods is Italian food. There's so much of it and it's so versatile. And I guess, it is also a favorite of a French Cuisine-Trained Chef, Leslie Revsin. In this book she's put together her own recipes and those of her friends, for a delightfully varied recipe book. Courses include: Antipasti and Soups; Pasta, Polenta, Gnocchi, and Risotto; Seafood; Chicken and Turkey; Beef, Lamb, Pork, and Veal; Salads; Side Dishes, and Desserts. That's a huge variety of Italian meals to choose from. Ones that caught my attention were: Fresh Linguine with Butter, Parmesan Cheese, and Mushrooms; Chicken Cutlets in Garlic Cream; Tossed Cauliflower Salad, and Leeks Baked with Butter and Marjoram. I've made my own ravioli pasta from scratch so I know what's involved. If I could, I'd never eat store-bought dried pasta again. There's just no comparison. We're also given "Simple Tips", "Variations", "Dress it Up", and "Serving Suggestions", and recipes have no more than tree steps - simpler.
