Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook
Buddha's hand lemons!
Pesto or soffritto ice cubes. When they're hard I transfer them in bags and they keep for months. And they're practical too!
As probably everyone here, I got majorly trained by my mother and by my grandmother. Not that they really wanted to....I absorbed their moves and flavors. Plus, Monferrato hills and a good presence of artisanal food (including the preparation of it: salami, bottling wine etc etc) made me a complete Piedmontese....with a southern Italian spike.
Thanks for participating and congratulations to our winners:

Tomatoes...there's nothing better than fresh tomatoes!
I just went and picked up stuff for garden today. I got some cucumbers, tomatoes,cantaloupe, onions and jalapeno peppers.
If I could - I would grow bell peppers, we go through them so quickly. But the deer around here would eat them all and if they didn't get to them, the rabbits, raccoons and other "critters" would!
Asparagus, leeks, shallots, 4 kinds of tomatoes (2 heirloom brandwines), corn, 2 kinds of cucumbers (one is lemon flavored), mixed pan patty squash, mixed radishes, wax beans, carmel flavored canteloupe, 3 kinds of watermelons (one seedless), and blueberries. I love growing unusaual veggies
I have a "tub" garden and am growing tomatoes & peppers.
everything! Tomatoes, cukes, lettuce, beets, corn, carrots, parsnips, hot peppers...and lots of herbs!
I would plant all kinds of peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, and raspberries :-)
