Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:01:41 -0400

Biscotti is used to describe a long, dry, hard twice baked cookie with a curved top and a flat bottom designed for dunking into wine or coffee. The name biscotti is derived from 'bis' meaning twice in Italian and 'cotto' meaning baked or cooked. These are very nice glazed or dipped in white chocolate. Enjoy. Don't let all the steps bother you. -- posted by Barb Gertz

The Best Rosemary Focaccia Bread

Mon, 02 Jun 2003 20:07:05 -0400

This recipe is from the site italianfoodforever.com. I found it about a year ago and have made it countless times, for countless occasions. I have messed up many things in this recipe and still it always turns out great. It is very simple--I LOVE it! *NOTE: Based on some reviews, you may need to add a bit more water. Remember that there are lots of variables in baking, and that making any kind of yeast bread may require adjustment depending on climate, altitude, and your ingredients. Your success comes from sensing the dough and what it needs, not from following a recipe to the letter. So if it feels dry, add a bit more water a tablespoon at a time until it feels more elastic. For the record, I have never had to add more water. -- posted by spatchcock

I came up with this one night to satisfy both my husband's wish for an olive oil-based pasta dish, and my craving for artichokes. We really enjoyed this hot and also the next day for lunch as a cold pasta salad. Cooking times are approximate since I didn't keep track, but it is a fairly good guess. Everything should only be cooked until heated through and the sauce is thickened. -- posted by Vino Girl

I love experimenting with cold pasta salads. This one was such a success I kept running back to the fridge to get more, so I think I'll wait a little bit before making another batch.

I designed these to be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week before eating. I make them in batches of 10, so my boyfriend and I can just grab one in the morning to take for lunch. They're elegant and tasty enough to serve as party or luncheon food, too--just probably not after a week in the fridge. -- posted by archimageiros

Artichoke and Broccoli Frittata / Crustless Quiche

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 15:17:23 -0500

A frittata (also known as crustless quiche) is a perfect palette for colorful vegetables and strongly flavored cheeses. What I love about frittatas is that they are one of the few egg dishes that are delicious at room temperature and can be stored in the refrigerator (or even frozen) for days. This one is not just for breakfast - Try it for lunch or dinner with a salad or steamed veggies. Eat hot or at room temperature - Leftovers can be heated in toaster oven or microwave. I designed this recipe to be gluten-free, using my homemade fresh gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs - But you can use any type of breadcrumbs you like. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Apricot-Almond-Rum Pound Cake

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 23:21:10 -0400

I got this recipe from my Mom's recipe collection. Flecked with apricot bits and flavored with rum and almonds, this is a moist and delicious pound cake. The recipe calls for light rum, but I have used dark rum and it was just as delicious. If you have the willpower, the cake tastes even better if wrapped when cool, and left overnight before cutting. I didn't name the recipe, but I don't know if I would classify this as a Pound Cake as it is quite light, just a bit denser than an angel food cake IMHO. -- posted by Brenda.

Gluten-Free Kalamata Olive and Rosemary Bread

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:40:27 -0400

This is a delicious gluten-free olive oil loaf with a more rustic style and a soft, pliable texture. The rosemary and olives lend a wonderful flavor. It doesn't need to be toasted in order to be soft and delicious (unlike most GF breads). Try a slice with butter on it, or as an accompaniment to Southern European and Mediterranean dishes, or try it with any soup or stew. As for me, I ate the entire loaf (not at once, of course) with hummus on top because I loved how the flavors went together. It would also make a killer grilled cheese sandwich with sharp cheddar. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Italian Inspired Potatoes

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 23:00:05 -0400

This was inspired by Chef Potpie's recipe#197754. I went to make it and thought it was missing tomatoes...I realized I had some sundried tomatoes and other flavorful add-ins and came up with this. It turned out very yummy. I love the tangy additions with the salami. To me this is a meal in itself! You could add onion to this also if you like. I might even try it with some capers next time. Hmm...and perhaps feta cheese instead of mozzarella with shredded chicken or no meat for greek potatoes! It's so fun to experiment. This could also be made in the oven or with leftover roasted potatoes or canned potatoes. Enjoy! -- posted by Engrossed

An easy and healthy recipe from Cooking Light Magazine (June 1999). It's also great if you add a little salsa to the wrap and the marinade works really well for grilled chicken breasts! Calories: 225; Fat 3.2g; Carbohydrate: 18.5g; Protein 28.5g -- posted by blucoat

Italian Vegetable Hoagies (Vegetarian Hoagie Sandwiches)

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:37:38 -0400

This delightfully easy, healthy, and delicious sandwich packs a punch with sweet balsamic vinegar, artichoke hearts, red onion, and provolone cheese. It's from Eating Well Magazine (July/August 2009). If youre packing the hoagies to take along, keep the ingredients separate and assemble right before eating to avoid soggy bread. Serve with tomato and cucumber salad. According to Eating Well, these have 264 calories; 8 g fat (3 g sat, 4 g mono); 39 g carbohydrate; 14 g protein; 8 g fiber per hoagie. -- posted by blucoat

Tom Colicchio's Sicilian Tuna Salad

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:36:53 -0400

Celebrity chef Tom Colicchio serves this delicious mayo-free tuna salad at his New York restaurant wichcraft. He recommends serving the salad on a fresh baguette, with olives, fennel and lemon confit (or more simply, some grated lemon zest). I got the recipe from the Today Show. This tastes best with a higher quality tuna. -- posted by blucoat

Received in an email from Gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world. The provenance was listed as from The Sun News, Myrtle Beach, SC, May 28, 2008.
