One of My Favorite Cookbooks,
By
This review is from: Cucina Fresca (Paperback)
Make the Yellow Bell Peppers in Vinegar, Sugar and Oregano. I have made this dish many times to take to parties, and there hasn't been a single occasion on which I haven't been asked for the recipe. People GORGE themselves on this stuff. They love it. Another consistent winner is the White Bean, Red Onion, Tomato and Oregano Salad; it makes a terrific side dish with a broiled flank steak - the entire dinner can be ready in 15 minutes. The Torta Rustica takes some effort, but it really is a showstopper. More importantly, the authors' concept of simple foods prepared with top-quality ingredients makes a wonderful philosophy. Their emphasis on olive oil yields a cookbook full of delicious recipes low in cholesterol, and tons of fresh vegetables. Healthy, sophisticated and delectable. These are ideal recipes to take with you to a picnic or party, since they can be served cold or at room temperature.

Delicious, imaginative, easy-to-prepare recipes,

This review is from: Cucina Fresca (Paperback)
This is the first cookbook review I've submitted. After preparing yet another scrumptious dish from this amazing collection of recipes, I was moved to share my delight with other potential readers. Everyone who has tasted the recipes I've made has praised them highly. Their simplicity belies their good taste. The two desserts I've made were huge hits - poaced peaches with amareti cookies and prunes in port over ice cream - yum! The grilled green or golden zucchini is amazing! I'm lucky to have the ability to read a recipe and imagine it accurately in my mind. I am confident that every recipe I've savored with my eyes will live up to its promise on my taste buds. I've not been disappointed yet!

Great food you can cook ahead of time and everyone loves,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cucina Fresca (Paperback)
Do you work? Do you like to serve good meals? Do you wonder how on earth you can combine those two facts? Here's the answer -- CUCINA FRESCA ("fresh cooking") presents a couple of hundred terrific and relatively simple, light, Italian-style recipes that you can cook ahead of time and then just take out of the refrigerator when you get home from the office and serve at room temperature to raves from family and friends. I have made "Rosemary Chicken" so many times it's incredible, but people always ask for more. A great dish to take to a sick friend, too. BOOO to the publisher for letting this wonderful cookbook go out of stock. Time to reprint!
