Tip of the Week

Olive oil of the best quality makes you a better cook as soon as you start using it.
It is a common and essential ingredient in Italian cooking, often used along with butter. Olive oil is what gives slow cooked vegetables, beans, mushrooms and many pasta recipes a “sunny” Italian flavor. It brings out garlic's sweet aroma, is an essential in pesto and great for salads. Buy the best possible --“extra virgin” olive oil. It should be pale sea green color (and expensive). It actually works out to be more economical, since the richer the taste, the less you will need to flavor your dish.
