Italy
Food and wine from Italy.
Layered leeks and potatoes Italienne
One would think leeks, potatoes, garlic and sage would not marry well. The truth is the flavors blend beautifully.
Baked salmon with fresh herbs
A dish full of flavor and full of color to decorate any table. Choose the wine to use carefully, a fresh, sparkling white wine with a clean taste is the perfect one to cook fish in.
Chocolate zabaglione
This dessert sauce goes wonderfully well with fresh fruits like strawberries. Choose some large and lusciously sweet.
Cannelloni with cheese sauce
Create a warm Italian atmosphere with cannelloni. It is easy with tomatoes from a tin, available at all seasons.
Pesto
This green basil, pine nut and garlic sauce is the pride of Genoa. Serve pesto with any pasta of your choice, cooked, drained, and placed in a warmed dish as a first course. Pesto is also excellent with potatoes or as a base sauce for pizza.
Angel hair with shrimp sauce
Still fast food, but with more substance. Adding some vegetables, the recipe becomes a wholesome main dish. The use of Asian ingredients -soy sauce, chutney- and Italian pasta brings East and West together.
