I really didn't think I was going to be impressed with this book, but I have to say, I do like it.

The photographs are nice, the recipes are easy to follow and many include tips on finding & using the best/freshest ingredients.

Basics: Breads, Meats, Cheeses, Oils, & Vinegars

Condiments: Basil pesto, Sun-dried tomato pesto, Lemon mayonnaise, Balsamic roasted garlic, Sweet onions, Oven-braised fennel, & several other tasty items

Panini: Grills; Prosciutto, bel paese & sweet onion; Portobello & grana; Cacciatorini, goat cheese & black olive pesto; Atrichoke, fennel, & fontina. All of which sound good to me

Bruschetta: Caponata & goat cheese; Aperitivo (fruit & white vermouth); Asapragus, truffle oil, & Parmigiano-Reggiano; Roasted butternut squash, walnut & asiago. All these sound good, there were a few I thought odd.

Tramezzini (something in the middle): Mozzarella & basil pesto; Bresaola, arugula & grana padano; Cacciatorini, sweet onion & tomato; Shrimp salad & red pepper mayonnaise...

Anitpasti, Merende, & Insalate: Bresaola w/ arugula & Parmigiano-Reggiano; Fennel & arugula w/ goat cheese & aceto balsamico; Truffled egg toast; Fennel, red onion & goat cheese frittata... very mouth watering offerings.… (plus d'informations)
