“Whatever Happened to Sunday Dinner” cook book caught my eye today.
A delightful collection of Sunday recipes by Lisa Caponigri presented in the Italian tradition.
Primo, Secondo (main dish) served with single Contorno (side) and desserts. Lisa’s inspiration the family that eats together stays together comes through the pages of the recipes. some of my favorite recipes are asparagi arrostiti broiled asparagus), fuglie di salvia fritte (deep fried sage and anchovie) and arista al forno (roast pork with fennel seed and garlic).
the question is still asked – “what happened to Sunday dinner ?” my answer is that it has been captured in the pages of Lisa’s book and is well worth the read.
5 out of 5.
