There are some good ideas in here, especially for hotter weather and using fresh veggies from the garden. I would have appreciated photos for every recipe, though.

This is Italian simplicity at it's best. You don't have to have expensive ingredients and make a big mess to cook something delicioso. Make a sandwich--Italian style, and with lots of melted chocolate.

A brief tour of Italian style sandwiches; including breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinner worthy offerings. Overall, nicely arranged and the recipes seem easy to follow. Favorite entry: Lemon Frittata and Fig Jam Panino (sweet and lemony eggs with fig spread).

Though the pictures are yummy, the ideas are too basic for me to want to keep this on hand.
