You can't go wrong...

Some recipes are impressive simply because they incorporate great ingredients. The "chef" need only throw them together with a bit of flare and there you have it - little finesse or mastery of technique needed. So it was with the fabulous, aforementioned (last post), pasta recipe I served up last night. As long as you have more or less the right quantities, who's going to question sun-dried tomatoes, capers, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil and Romano cheese tossed with fresh pasta and olive oil. Believe me - anyone can do it.

Likewise, stuff fresh tomatoes with a mixture of chevre, fresh basil and olive oil - sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and broil for 10 minutes and you have a treat verging on candy - no work, no great skill, just great thinks put together.

I'm doing it all again on Friday - same menu, different people - works for me.
