Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

Balkan Cucumber Salad : page 69

I've made this from both books; the recipes are essentially the same, although the older one uses a mixture of sour cream and yogurt, rather than all yog. Fine. I've made with mixture of whatever similar stuff is avaiable, usually crème fraîche and yog.

Doesn't keep long.

Nuts are a nice touch.

Berry Sauce : page 207

Good & easy. Used only 1tbl sugar. Straining the purée was a nuisance.

Crunchy-Top Peach Pie : page 105

Good. Used only a scant 1/4 cup sugar for soaking the peaches, which was fine.

Ricotta Cake : page 208

My notes say only : Really scrumptious!
Used a scan 1/3cup sugar; a bit more might have been OK, but this was fine. Used the egg yolks. Took a bit longer than 50min to cook, but oven wasn't up to temp perhaps.

Ricotta Gnocchi : page 85

Good. Recipe made about 3 dozen gnocchi, rather than 2 dozen as advertised.
- Thought it needed a bit more salt.
- Coarsely chop the parsley and garlic, then mix all in food processor.
- Rather than dropping from a spoon, could squirt the batter from a pastry bag.
