Recipes and Reflections

About the Book

This is not a cook book. Rather, it involves a bunch of recipes that we have enjoyed over the years, punctuated with sage comments and sometimes relevant photographs. Some of the recipes are home made, others are hand-me-downs from grandmothers and great grandmothers, and still others come from all over the place. The theme tends to be Mediterranean. A few will not initially appeal to the unimaginative palate, but I am putting them down here lest they be forgotten. You can forget them later. Ah! the memories of childhood. All of this assembled wisdom and cookery is directed to and for the possible use or disregard by the immediate family (La Famiglia!). You are not authorized to share this stuff with anyone. Other parties might not pick up on some of the references or old world comments. Outsiders who steal this information will be attacked in their dreams by rabid anchovies and relentless voracious squid. In the future you might consider adapting all of this – with photos and comments – for your own purposes.
