Preserved Lemon Slices : page 15
This is a simple shortcut to preserved lemon. Very thin slices of lemon are macerated in salt, then packed with their natural juice, some pepperoncini and olive oil in a jar. In the fridge, the olive oil solidifies. I spooned out some of the oil with a few lemon slices, chopped the lemon, added the oil and lemon to some leftover garlic potatoes, cherry tomatoes and some herbs---Magnificent! I can think of a dozen uses for these, but just this simple way of dressing a vegetable salad is worth the price of the book. Wonderful chopped up with some black olives and spooned over grilled chicken or fish--or as suggested in the book, as a sandwich condiment.

Pita : page 56
This is a pretty standard pita recipe, with a little sugar, a nice glug of olive oil. The method is laid out with precision--I think this is actually a foolproof recipe for making really good pita. I made mine using rapid rise yeast (the recipe prefers fresh) and using the stand mixer. I followed the instructions re: proofing and shaping. I baked mine on a stone and was delighted with the way they puffed. Once out of the oven, I placed them in a sealed bag as suggested. Really good! And still fresh tasting the next day. I think this will become my preferred method.
