What should I make from Cucina Fresca?

September 1, 2021 9:53 PM

Inspired by several MeFi recommendations over the years I just purchased the cookbook Cucina Fresca. If you have it, what are your go-to recipes?

No dietary restrictions -- throw 'em at me!

And by the way, when the cookbook calls for "a cup and a half of herbs" and lists some possible herbs - basil, oregano, mint, etc. -- can you combine them together to make a cup and a half, or should it only be one type of herb?

Best answer: Yes, when the cookbook calls for "a cup and a half of herbs" it is talking about a cup and a half total, and it can be a mix if you like. If you prefer just one herb, then just use one.

The zuppa de pesce is wonderful.
