About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Not everybody would like this amount of garlic in their breakfast/brunch/lunch. I really liked it though. Hearty, nutty, and fragrant. And of course you could make it without garlic as well.

A lovely frittata variation. It looked like the picture in the book, too.
I served this with a green salad with an olive oil vinaigrette. This was not a good idea - the olive flavors reinforced each other too much. Next time I want a salad with neutral oil in the dressing.
