Who has time to eat at Wangaratta, I usually lose a couple of kilos by the end of the weekend, part of the reason could be I don't get my usual alcohol intake either. There's too much music to see. If there is quality food, wine and coffee outside the town hall I wouldn't leave the block. Looking forward to what looks like being another fine festival.

It was meant to be in the shops on November 1, but no sight yet. And I've been looking every day.
I's be talking about The Silver Spoon, Italy's classic cookbook, which has been translated into English for the first time.
Man, I can't wait to get among those recipes.
My understanding is that it was put together in the post-WWII years at least in part with a view to lifting national pride. The book's compilers went all over the different regions collecting all the classics. Apparently, you'll find a copy in just about every Italians home.
Hmmmnnnn, yummy.
Funny thing about the rort city that is the Australian book trade. Our price: $A70. Amazon: $A35. Go figga.

Man this book is a gas - and I'm fully looking forward to getting into it on Sunday with Bennie.
Maybe marinated rabbit first up. There's a heap of bunny recipes in there. Yeehah. Watership Down - yum, yum, yum. There's also a simple spinach sauce recipe good for pasta that apeals. And all sorts of other goodies. 2000 recipes, in fact. And there's some wild stuff in the game section, I can tell you.
As I started flipping through the menus at the end, contributed by hot-shot Italian chefs and about a dozen of their international colleagues, I was thinking, "Yeah right - there'll be a couple of other Euro types, a handful Americans and no Australians". Wrong! Three Aussies get guernsies - Karen Martini, and Stefanos Manfredi and De Pieri - one more than the US.
Hours of filling fun for the whole family!

Ever tried rabbit ragout pasta? Have it as an entree before the rabbit itself. I haven't eaten it myself, but seen it on someone elses plate. Looks good.

Yeah, Mim, I've had bunny ragout with pasta, but never made it meself - or, leastwise, had enough rabbit stew/fricassee/whatever leftover. The nearest I get to that is deliberately making too much osso bucco or beef stew, and then freezing what's left (including lotsa smashed up meat). It can be mighty fatty, so I tend to scrape of the worst of it as it thaws out. |
