Amaretto, Apple Cake and Artichokes: The Best of Anna Del Conte
baked pasta with aubergine : page 231
this is a classy version of cheesy pasta bake with aubergine. this dish is a bit time consuming and did use nearly every pan in the house and every hob. really good but you do need a while to prepair it so make sure your not feeling harrased when you attempt this. i dont think that this recipe needs any tweaking being the perfect comfort dish.

chicken with vinigar and herbs : page 169
This seems like a weird way to cook chicken, using an awful lot of vinegar in the process but it turns out lovely. Halfway through cooking when you taste the dish it seemed very tart and I was a bit worried but the information to finish the sauce off at the end leaves you with a flavoursome silky sauce. The other thing I liked was that because she suggests a variety of herbs you could make it with just one or a combination really making this dish your own. This doesn't require too much work from you, mainly attention at the end with the sauce so a real winner. the only thing I'd say is don't buy the cheapest red wine vinegar or you'll be adding a lot of sugar at the end.

meat and potato pie : page 153
another recipe that looked nice with techniques that id never tried. this was mainly the fact that the beef and pork are stewed in red wine and milk. the flavours are really deep and probably more suited to winter, the only reason that i didnt give this 5 stars is that the meat was still a bit chewy. this though could be down to my oven and hobs being great for high heats but rubbish for a simmer. Im planning to buy a simmer matt and put it on earlier in the day to see if i can get a melt in your mouth meat. if i do i may re review this in the winter.
