Cooking with Tempo


More cookbook testing which is turning out to be fun. This recipe is one from Zia Elenora's kitchen. For many years she and her husband ran one of the best Italian bakeries in the city (and my cousins were always there to entertain customers young and old!). Not only could you get a great cappuccino but you could come in for some comfort food, fantastic bread, a warm welcome and an ear to chat to.

Am sure my aunt knew the gossip of the whole Italian population within a 15km radius of the bakery! Uncle Vince and his team of bakers including his entertaining son BP, made the most divine breads and pastries which each week my Dad and I went to buy. We would have to buy double of most things as due to its freshness and warmth, the bread was half eaten by the time we got home. Yum!

So in retirement, the kitchen at home comes alight with a continuation of baked and cooked, salted and preserved delicacies (all documented for the book).
Last week on our testing morning, Zia made this succulent and divine Osso Buco with red wine and a lemon marinade - it is all well documented and digested. Also soo simple and easy to make, even the kids loved it - hands in the air -yay!!!

Thx for having Momma Dolce and I document another few un-documented recipes! And folks the pictures are all from the little Canon camera I have -pls advise if the food styling is getting better.
