Brolied scallops

Brolied scallops by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

Again, 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…

Olive tapenade

Olive tapenade by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

Olive Tapenade is a staple at my house. It is delicious to pull out as an impromptu happy hour snack, and it's always great to set out when company is coming. The olive tapenade keeps well in the refrigerator for at least a week, but rarely lasts that long at my house. I serve the tapenade in a small bowl, then on the side to scoop it…

Swordfish with fresh tomato sauce

Swordfish with fresh tomato sauce by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

In order to keep the swordfish the star of this show, only fresh, ripe tomatoes can be used. Before trying this dish, one might imagine that a tomato sauce would overpower the flavor of the fish, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The end result will be light and delicious.

Rosemary Thyme marinade

Rosemary Thyme marinade by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

It'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…

Chicken Marsala

Chicken Marsala by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

Chicken is so versatile. We eat it all the time, in many different ways. One of my favorite chicken preparations is chicken marsala. The chicken can be made with just the marsala sauce, but in my opinion what really compliments the chicken are some earthy mushrooms as an accompaniment. This is a comfort food, that can be prepared in a…

Veal stew - Spezzatino di vitello

Veal stew - Spezzatino di vitello by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

Veal 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…

Chimichurri sauce,choripan

Chimichurri sauce,choripan by Shawnna and Davide Busetti

Chimichurri is the quintessential Argentinean condiment and/or marinade. It can be used as a marinade for a succulent steak, or more simply in the form of churripan. Churripan is everything street food is supposed to be- fast, delicious, and genuine. With barbecue season upon us, why not give your gathering a South American flair?…
