A quote from the late George Carlin, Comedy Rock Star …. “A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff”. I encourage you to use your stuff…. In my book, Breaking Bread in L’Aquila, I used all of my stuff to food style. It’s important to set a nice table when you have prepared a simple meal! Food looks so much more appealing when it looks good on the plate (your stuff): Tasting with your eyes! As we start thinking about the Holidays (just around the corner) – dust off your good dishes (stuff) and use them. If you accidentally break some stuff ….just go out and buy more stuff! ps – you can’t take your stuff with you! Don’t forget….The net proceeds of this book will be donated to the restoration efforts of the earthquake of L’Aquila. Great gift giving for the Holidays. a presto, maria Hi Everybody, Wanted to share a review from one of our readers! Would love to hear from you! We received Breaking Bread in L’Aquila and love it. The photos are mouth-watering and the recipes are so authentic. My wife said they’re exactly the way her Italian aunts used to make them. We also like the way the book is designed around seven days. The first comprised lettuce salad with parmigiano cheese, veal cutlets, sautéed mushrooms, and rustic vegetables with balsamic reduction. The second comprised baked haddock (instead of snapper) with lemon-butter sauce, pasta e fagioli, and peas and guanciale. Both meals were total and complete big hits with everyone. After the second dinner, my wife revealed the source of the recipes and gave a copy of Breaking Bread to our cousins – they were thrilled. We have family in Abruzzo, near L’Aquila. In 2007 we four visited them. So your book and the meals were extra special treats for them … as they also were for us. We are so glad you wrote the book; it is a fitting tribute to both Paul and L’Aquila. They will not be forgotten. THAT’S RIGHT! WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ! ! Don’t forget….The net proceeds of this book will be donated to the restoration efforts of the earthquake of L’Aquila. Great gift giving for the Holidays. I’m not an ovenologist but ….How many times have you thought to yourself, “I swear that I followed exactly what the recipe called for. Why didn’t the cake rise? How could I have burned the biscotti?” (I’ll get to the biscotti in a minute.) You were sure that you followed the recipe. You bought exactly what the recipe required, with no deviation whatsoever. But when you took a step back to figure out what the heck happened, did it ever occur to you that it might be your oven? What I mean is, all ovens are different. Some models are gas or electric, and they’re made by different manufacturers. Are all cars alike? It’s gets easier when you know your oven. Biscotti making is now a pleasure….I have two ovens, one gas, one electric and each time that I made batches, had to regulate my 350F to difference ranges to avoid my fudgesicle disasters. a presto, biscotti calling my name! Don’t forget….The net proceeds of this book will be donated to the restoration efforts of the earthquake of L’Aquila. Great gift giving for the Holidays. maria ! |
