Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
I love homemade spaghetti with fresh pesto, green beans and potatoes. Pesto should always be made with a mortar and pestle - it's just not the same in the food processor. This is why I hardly ever order it out, and rely on my own two hands to do the mashing.
Focaccia, the Easiest Homemade Bread
I made this last night, and I can't wait to make it again. It rivaled the focaccia I had when visiting Liguria last summer. I made it with chopped walnuts and garlic, brushed on with the olive oil. It was amazing bread - my local bakery is going to lose a lot of my business!
"Working Lunch" suggestions?
I think a chickpea salad would be ideal. How about chickpeas with chopped celery, chopped red pepper and parsley or cilantro. Dress it just with olive oil and salt and pepper. It will be impressive and the chickpeas will fill you up and give you energy.
