Hi everyone…for the next few weeks you’ll find everything you need from my various radio shows posted here instead of my website while my webmaster is away.  Oh, and my wife Ramona has a new blog called The Lasagna Project.<\/a>  Check it out.  If you’re looking for info from yesterday’s Pacific Palate, it’s here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Food For Thought, Jan. 11\/06<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I got a little closer to my Italian roots with Emily Richards, author of Italian Express, published by Harper Collins.<\/p>\n

\"Emily\"<\/a> Emily and I strolled along a busy Commercial Drive, one of Vancouver’s last havens of Italian culture, where men still gather in the cafes to watch soccer, drink espressos and chat about life in general, and women shop some excellent delis, bakeries and green grocers.  Emily’s book has some really great shortcuts to help you put Italian-themed meals on the plate in a hurry.  I have two Italian Express cookbooks to give away.  All you have to do is click on the ‘Comments’ link below and tell me what your very favourite Italian dish is.  <\/p>\n

For me, it was my Aunt Polly’s spaghetti and meatballs, because she would put some fennel seed in her tomato sauce, and also make some tiny sausages to mix in with the meatballs, some hot, some not, so every sausage was a gamble.  After Sunday dinner, when everyone was watching the Ed Sullivan show, I would sneak back into the kitchen and steal a few more sausages and meatballs out of the tomato sauce.  Somehow they tasted even better that way!  I look forward to reading YOUR stories.  Deadline for the contest is January 27th.  Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
