Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan

Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan by myra byanka

Easy to prepare, lower calorie version of this dish. For maximum tenderness, I recommend brining the breasts in 2 qts. water and 1/2 C table salt for 1 to 1 1/2 hours and rinsing them in cold water for several minutes. Or, take a kitchen mallet or rolling pin and put the whammy on 'em.

RICOTTA PANZAROTTI WITH MARINARA SAUCE

RICOTTA PANZAROTTI WITH MARINARA SAUCE by Linda Tay Esposito

I learned how to make the panzarotti from a chef with the same last name as I in Sorrento. Esposito is a very common name in the Naples area. She was tickled to see an Asian Esposito. Instead of trying to make your own puff pastry, I highly recommend using the frozen ones (Dafour is an excellent brand) to reduce the prep time by…

Stuffed Crepes by Kyra Martin

I loved this! It was basically a fun new twist on lasagna. The tomato sauce was really simple, but delicious. It'd be great to use on loads of other things. I got this from The Essential Mediterranean Cookbook.
