Pomodorini farciti – Stuffed Tomatoes
Worth Buying?
This is a well researched and produced book, just as you would expect from such experienced authors. It’s is a book that would be great for people who entertain and are looking for interesting and different appetisers or canapes. I enjoyed reading and cooking from the book and there are a number of recipes which I have bookmarked to try, in particular the Chickpea Fritters which sound like they may be very like the Chickpea Chips I enjoyed in Cheltenham!

Nice review Janice. I love Italian food and because they are so keen on vegetables, there are plenty of vegetarian recipes. Love pasta in all forms and various pesto sauces.
