Roasted Broccoli

Roasted Broccoli by John Spottiswood

This roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish.

I first had these as part of a beautiful salad that also included fried eggplant rounds and several types of olives, at the Locanda Rosati near Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Wonderful for a spring antipasto or as part of a summer lunch.

Italian Pepper Cookies

Italian Pepper Cookies by Evelyn Scott

Sometime you may have had some Italian cookies and wondered about the piquant taste. They may have been pepper cookies which come from the far northern Italian border. The pepper does not make the cookies hot, just zippy.

This is a delicious and beautiful dish. We just served it for a normal weeknight meal, but the presentation is such that it would be good for entertaining. It's rich, so good to serve with a green salad with vinaigrette.
