Useful and delicious recipes!

I've always wanted to know how to make sophisticated Italian cooking look simple, and now I can. Thanks to Clifford Wright's new book I can whip up Mediterranean delights that approach the dishes in some of my favorite restaurants, and do it at home without spending all afternoon preparing. There's nothing esoteric here. Just as the title promises this is basic, down-home food.But Italian down-home, so it takes a little getting used to. There are combinations I've never tried before, and ingredients from Italian delis that I don't usually buy. But the recipes look perfectly do-able and promise a nice change from the usual pasta and red sauce.
