We have used it for years and found exciting recipes along with the beautiful photographs of almost every dish. Many are simple but a few are more ambitious. One favorite is a simple spinach sidedish with raisins and pine nuts. Others are a beef rouladen filled with cheese, pesto and ham, and a Tuscan beef stew flavored with rosemary and cinnamon. In fact, the book has an excellent collection of vegetarian recipes including a wonderfulmacaroni tossed with broccoli, pine nuts and raisins perked up with a subthreshold amount of mashed anchovy, and a lasagna with filling of artichoke hearts and mushrooms thickened with egg.
