One of my recipes in Breaking Bread in L’Aquila is Veal Scalapini. I substituted the veal with turkey. Instead of white wine, I added a little vermouth. i sauteed the mushrooms in the same pan and added 1/2 cup of chicken broth. I have a few props from Monday’s Segment on CHCH TV 11 – where I prepared butternut squash and farfalle pasta. I have four (three pound) butternut squash and today, I prepared one with dinner. My mother loves ribs and when I seasoned the ribs with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red onions, whole garlic cloves, salt, pepper and red chili (for taste), I cut the butternut squash in cubes and threw in the pan next to the pork ribs. The butternut squash was really good (carmelized) with the vinegar, and red onions and garic. A nice change to serve with the ribs! a presto, maria Hi Everybody, I was be attending Domenic Serio’s fashion show in Toronto this evening at Villa Colombo. I will be giving a brief talk about my book and will speak on food styling and how the aesthetics of food preparation is very important. I have received great feedback on the photos – and as a first time food stylist, it speaks from passion and heart. Of course, my photographer Carolyn did a great job taking the photos through my eyes. The photography portion will be my next project – in my next book. In a previous blog titled From Fashionista to Foodista or my upcoming cooking class on December 2nd “Dolci & Maria” always comes from a place of fashion and styling. Not to mention, great food to compliment the styling. Domenic Serio has been designing Haute Couture for over 20 years – making him a very important name in the fashion industry in Toronto. I look forward to seeing his designs as we eat, drink and be Maria! The net proceeds of this book will be donated to the restoration efforts of the earthquake of L’Aquila. a presto, Maria I prepared Farfalle Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash and pinenuts for my segment on CHCH TV 11 on November 1st. The staff at CHCH TV enjoyed this and perfect as a Fall Pasta dish. |
