by Ali Slagel “Cooking New York Times” Website As much as I love my cookbooks, sometimes I just don’t have the time to dawdle among the pages to find a recipe. I just can’t resist browsing through the gorgeous photos and dreaming about when I’ll make each dish. I have been known to open a cookbook … Continue reading
From Old World Italian by Mimi Thorisson I’m always thrilled to receive a cookbook (or any book for that matter) as a gift. It’s a gesture of endearment to me, as it lets me know that I am truly understood by that person. They “get me” and my love of food, cooking and of course, cookbooks. Recently, … Continue reading
I think that you could make pasta every day for an entire year (my kind of heaven), and never need to duplicate a recipe. I really do. Right off the top of my head, I could name close to 100 dishes that make my mouth water. If I thought longer, and perused my Italian cookbooks … Continue reading

Pasta Primavera can typically be made using all, or some, of Spring’s finest bounty. My favorite way, however, of making this dish is with asparagus and fresh spring peas. The simple flavors of asparagus and peas go so well together, especially when sautéed with shallots, garlic, olive oil and butter. All you need after that … Continue reading

Recipe: serves 4 1 pound orecchiette ( a Puglia pasta, named for the shape it resembles, “little ears”). 1/4 cup olive oil 4 … Continue reading
