DeleteI already made the caponata (we loved it). I will definitely make the tomato bruschetta and the gazpacho. Hopefully I'll get to some others as well. Thanks for organizing, as always!
ReplyDeleteJora, nice recipes - thank you so much for letting me know!
DeleteAbsolutely not fair this month. Too many good recipes offered. But...my choices are Gazpacho, Pasta with fennel, arugula, and lemon, and Caponata. I am also hoping to add Quick couscous salad with pepper and feta to my repertoire. The more I cook from this book and get more familiar with "its ways", the easier the recipes are coming together for me. Andrea, I think Betsy is going to join us this month. I urged her to also and am sending her an email about the recipes I have picked. I think this cookbook is right up her alley.
ReplyDeleteMary, yes, fair, just make them all...just joking but a few of them are quite easy and the other few do get even easier as you cook your way through the book - the more you cook from the book the easier it gets - could not agree with you more. Thanks for letting me know about Betsy, she did contact me about a week ago - hopefully she will be able to participate this month. Thank you for your selections!
DeleteI'm on vacation but brought my book with me so hoping to cook a few things. In Orlando doing the parks with my family this week, then flying to the west coast to visit family and freinds. Rental houses don't always have the best kitchens but looking forward to trying the bruschetta and couscous salad and maybe a few more time and produce permitting...
ReplyDeleteSounds nice, enjoy your vacation! Looking forward to your post!
DeleteI'm going to test this out as a CCC guest blogger this month. There are so many delicious choices. I'm going to make the caramelized carrots with gremolata and the couscous salad. Am I allowed to do one of the variations on the salad? Thanks for letting me participate.
ReplyDeleteOur first "CCC Guest Blogger YAH! One big fat welcome dear friend!!!
DeleteBetsy, you are such an experienced cook - you can do wheatever variation you want with this recipe...
Hope you will enjoy cooking along with us - when did you get the book??
Thanks for the warm welcome, Andrea. For this "trial" month, I have borrowed the book from the library. If/when I continue with you next month, I'll buy it for myself.
DeleteBetsy, thank you for your reply - I am sure that you will enjoy the book as much as we do and will call it your own soon!
DeleteLiebe Grüsse - Kind regards, Andrea
Caponata for me! There is actually a family recipe for something similar to caponata that I have been meaning to share. But, we'll start w Hugh's caponata, which I'm sure will be lip-smacking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteColette, caponata it shall be then - thanks for letting me know!
