bellisimo

cooked this the other night as I am a vegetarian and the rest of my family enjoy meat. This was a lovely dish with BBQ italian sasuages from Marinos in the central market in adelaide. Also with the zuchinni flower fritters perfect dinner for all who enjoyed.

Food does not come better than this --- in any cuisine. To dip wood-oven crusty Italian bread into tha bee-ooo-tifull oily nectar is heaven. My relatives do it, and now I'm going to give it a try. Well done

Thanks Guy for the great authentic italian recipes. My parents passed away over a year ago and I miss my mum's cooking and my dad's home grown veggies so much. It's a pity I didn't pay close enough attention to the precise recipes. My version sometimes lacks something. It's so lovely to see you presenting the food I enjoyed growing up in an Italian family in Melbourne. Now I can properly replicate the recipes for my children and share with them the gastronomical delights of their nonni and Italy

What ARE you on about?! Sit back enjoy the recipes and the show. Good One Maeve and Guy, 22/04 was the best so far. No they're all great. Loved that couple in Keilor. What a fantastic garden! I want your job[s]

Humans are by nature omnivores - we eat just about anything and that has been a key to our success as a species. Humans who eat meat only are properly called carnivores. Vegetarians - that is, herbivores - who label normal people carnivores are inciting discrimination. Having said that I'm going out to pick some capsicums, eggplant and basil from the garden. Lamb leg steak will be the perfect accompaniment.
