White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce by Frank FarielloThis dish brings me back to my Vienna days: white asparagus and potatoes with hollandaise sauce.

Moules a la Provencale by Ali El SafyOne of our favorite appetizers. Also makes a great meal with fries. I recommend that home chefs get their butcher to clean the mussels before you take them home. Most stores will do this for you. |

Parmigiana di melanzane (Eggplant Parmesan) by Frank FarielloBeing a lover of good food, I find it almost impossible to answer the question 'what's your favorite dish?' But if I had to, my answer would probably be eggplant parmesan--parmigiana di melanzane--the way Angelina used to make it. This is a simple dish to make, but it involves several steps. Allow yourself a good two hours to… |

I made this with a… |

Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer by John SpottiswoodThis is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from Marcella Hazen. She recommends serving this at room temperature, but I've had a similar broccoli appetizer at a great local Italian restaurant and they chill it, so I thought I would too. I think it would be great either way. If it's hot out, and a chilled appetizer would be nice, then… |

Spanish Scallops by Nancy MiyasakiThese are amazingly rich and tasty. I served these as an entree, but I think they would make an extremely good appetizer too. Make sure to serve with some crusty artisan bread for dipping in the Romesco Sauce. |
