Brolied scallopsAgain, this recipe has my Venetian mother in law's culinary hand all over it. These scallops are so delicious, they never disappoint. I made them for Christmas dinner, but they are an elegant beginning to a New Year's Eve dinner, or any other culinary occasion. This recipe is simple and delectable. Large scallops are best, not the… |

SangriaThursday, May 6, 2010 Sangria Everytime I mention the word sangria, everyone always says, "MMMmmmm! I love sangria!" But how rarely we actually drink it. I am always so hesitant to order it out, because for my taste it is usually syrupy sweet. That ruins it for me. I like my sangria somewhat dry, with the nice fruit flavor in the… |

Spicy Asian noodle saladThis noodle salad is always a big hit at potlucks, picnics, and gatherings. It is quite spicy, which is what I personally love about it. The salad is best made ahead of time, preferably the day before. This gives the flavors time to blend. Also, it is intended to be served chilled, so it needs at least a few hours in the… |

It can be served with fresh tagliatelle egg pasta, or spaghetti. This is also the same sauce that is used to make a traditional meat lasagne. There are many variations, but I consider this to be the… |

Veal stew - Spezzatino di vitelloVeal is a delicious and flavorful meat when prepared well. Stew meat tends to be a little less expensive than other cuts of veal, so this is a great way to take advantage of savings without sacrificing any taste. Veal from mainstream supermarkets tends to be way overpriced, and not as fresh since it may not move as fast. I can not… |

Rosemary Thyme marinadeIt's getting to be grilling season. What could be tastier than a nicely marinated piece of meat? The enormous shelf full of ready made marinades at the grocery store is stocked with expensive, overprocessed products. Making your own marinade takes almost no time, is delicious, and more importantly, you know what you are eating. The… |

It is a time for festivities which include the amazingly beautiful Venetian masks, but also a whole host of foods that are part of the tradition.
