Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar
This beautiful book holds a culinary trip to Italy, with a little bit of France thrown in. Try this pasta dish that is easy to throw together and get on the table. There is also a recipe for torta pasqualina that is right out of my childhood. I remember my eighty-year-old cousin, Grace, cutting one open to reveal Swiss chard or maybe escarole, with a perfectly cooked hard boiled egg in the center of each slice. It was so beautiful that you barely knew, as a child, you were eating a green vegetable. I never asked her for the recipe, because I was afraid of her. Now, thanks to this book, I have it!
