Mario Batali Simple Italian Food: Recipes from My Two Villages
By Mario Batali
Clarkson Potter - 1998
An AJ Soupereasy project. The liver would have been much better with less capers. We used salted, rinsed,capers, sodium overload.
Cucumber salad called for 1 English cuke, we have been known to eat a cucumber salad meant for 4. We thought cucumber salad, ok...
Though we doubled everything in the salad, we were astounded at the amount of red pepper flakes. Single recipe called for 1 tbl red pepper flakes. We used less than 1 tbl and it was inedible!
Also seemed not to be a good pairing with the liver.

olive oil and orange cake : page 272
This is a lovely, moist cake, really easy to put together.
I made a light glaze by melting a bit of beer jelly that I had made. Really lovely!
I don't do fussy/elaborate cakes.
Sometimes you just want a bit of a sweet after dinner.

Salmon Tartare on Green Olive Crostini : page 29
I give this a 2 because the Green Olive Pesto is rather nice.
Another AJ Soupereasy project.
Far too much mustard for our taste, 1 tbl of dijon and 2 tbl of black mustard seeds. (We subbed brown)
Really overwhelmed the salmon, which should have been the star.
The olive pesto is quite nice, though we did reduce the onion a bit. Recipe calls for 1/2 a red, our red might have been a bit large. The ratio of onion to olive seemed a bit much.
Recipe did not call for toasting the pine nuts but as AJ and I always do it, seemed silly not to take the raw taste out of the mix.
The olive pesto will be lovely tossed with pasta or on crostini.
