    That basil ice cream sure does intrigue me. I love the art of Tuscan food. Some of the best meals I have ever had took place in Tuscany. Thanks for some great new dishes. Appreciated!

    We stayed for a week in a old villa outside of Florence for a week. It was heaven. So fun to go to the grocery store and make our own food!

    I have lots of basil growing in my kitchen window. Might just try some of these recipes.

    My husband is Italian and the cook in our house, and this is how we eat too, you really don't need lots of spices in good food. I was surprised when we stayed in Tuscany that they do not add salt to their bread. Now that I didn't like.

    Delicious! Especially that bread and tomato salad recipe...I will be trying that one for sure. :)

    Any region of Italy brings incredible classic food dishes. I really like your recipes you have shared and look forward to many more so I can keep my Italian food dish cravings under control LOL!
  • prosperity66 Jan 3, 2011 @ 7:20 am | delete
    I'm generally not fan of classic Italian cuisine (pasta and pizza... eeeek, lol) but I save this lens on my computer so that I can get back as often as I wish as I found some recipes that made me mouthwatering!

    Your recipes are brilliant. They need to be eaten in an Italian Garden to get the full effect.

    Great idea about the spinach pesto - there's never enough basil to do the basil version! Makes me wonder about trying a rocket version too. Thank you!

    I just had a tasty chicken in olive oil dinner last night! I'm particularly partial to salads (all makes and varieties) and that tuna one looks tasty. Thumbs up!

    I visited Tuscany two years ago and loved everything about it. The people, the food, the art. I will try the Tuscan Fresh Tuna Fish with Peas Recipe. Yum. Thanks for organizing all these great cookbooks too. I'll let you know which I get and how I like it.

    I enjoyed the Spinach Pesto Recipe - so simple yet so delicious. The Clay Art Tuscan Sunflower Dinner Set looks hand crafted which adds to it's appeal. 5*s

    I love that movie Under the Tuscan Sun. There is just something romantic about Italy. The tuna and pea recipe sounds good. Fresh tuna is so good especially smoked!

    Funny, I think well of Tuscan food but I'm not sure that I've ever had any.
    Well done, as always & blessed.

    I'd heard of garlic ice cream when I lived near Gilroy, CA, but never basil ice cream... I'll have to save some next summer and give that a try!
