This bread is typically made in South America, and because they are made with tapioca starch the buns are gluten-free. They have a nice flavor from parmesan cheese and garlic. Good with soup or a snack. Reheats quickly in the microwave.

Mediterranean Frittatas

This recipe is great for lunch, brunch even a light dinner.
These frittatas have a nice combination of vegetables, onions, eggplant, peppers and Kalamata olives. It also has two cheeses, Parmesan and feta. They give the frittatas rich taste and a bit of saltiness. This recipe makes four frittatas, but you can easily reduce the amounts. The recipe is also a base to experiment with different ingredients to make your own flavor combinations.

Bagna Cauda

This is a simple dip to make. It's creamy, but not thick. It's buttery, garlicky and has lots of anchovies. Serve with crisp vegetables.

Roasted Vegetable Soup

It 's a two part recipe, first you have to make a recipe of roasted winter vegetables, page 110. Then you can make the soup that on page 33. The idea of a roasted vegetable soup is good, but I added a few extra seasonings.
