Finally, I drew a recipe in which I could use the special sausage that Deborah moved heaven and earth to get made. (thanks again for including me in your haul!!) As the title states this recipe involves veal cubes and … Continue reading →
For this post, I have the best of everything. The right cut of veal and my two best friends in town to help me eat it! The recipe starts with a piece of top round veal. I didn’t have a … Continue reading →
What can I say about this veal scaloppine recipe that has not been said in the last few posts? These recipes have a lot in common in that they are cooked really quickly over high heat in butter and then … Continue reading →
Getting the ingredients this week posed a great challenge. It seems that there is a shortage of veal breast in the Midwest. First, I started with my local grocer and they didn’t have any and couldn’t order it. I then … Continue reading →

This was one recipe that I was really looking forward to making. When I was working on the recipes for our breakfast catering menu at our store, I fell in love with frittatas. I had never really made any up … Continue reading →
Well, I drew the easy recipe this week. When I read about Palma’s valiant stirring efforts I was comforted that I just had to stir my polenta for a couple of minutes, not the marathon 45 minutes that she had … Continue reading →
This recipe is a variation on the Gnocchi that Jerry made yesterday. It is basically the same recipe but finished off after boiling with melted butter and grated parmesan cheese. This is then baked until the cheese melts and then … Continue reading →
This chapter on risotto has been an exceptional experience for me. Both of the risottos that I have drawn in the recipe lotto would not have been first choices for me, but to my surprise once I made them they … Continue reading →
This was my first try at making risotto with porcinis. I don’t know why I haven’t tried it before, because we sell the dried porcinis at our store. I think I was afraid that the taste would be too heavy, … Continue reading →
