Olive Oil

I find myself constantly returning to this book, as well as its sister volumes in the Italian Pantry series, over and over and still finding something new and enjoyable. Olive Oil is something that has been around since ancient times, and yet, only recently are we discovering its myriad uses in the kitchen. This colorful book illustrates the history and production of Olive Oil and presents many simple, yet lavish regional Italian recipes for sauces, preserved items, and entrees. Of course, you can always just keep a little carafe on the table for drizzling over pasta, meats, vegetables, and just about anything else for that matter.
