Is your "Italian" olive oil really Italian?There is a small scandal on the Italian olive oil scene these days. Through a quirk in the way Europe's olive oil labeling laws are written, the "Product of" label signifies the location of the bottler -- not the source of the olives themselves....
Old-Fashioned Tomatoes Raw vegetables are dangerous and must be thoroughly fried, steamed, and boiled into submission. So thought our ancestors. The original sin of a recalcitrant vegetable was of course lessened by heat, but the conscientious nineteenth-century cook...

Parmesan Wafers
The first time I ran across parmesan wafers I was in a steak
house with my dad. He had ordered a salad and immediately began
raving about these strange flat cookie looking things. After a
few minutes of him raving I decided to try one. It turns out he
was right. They were parmesan wafers, we ended up ordering these
tangy, crunchy wafers as an appetizer and continued to enjoy
this new found treat.
Later after trying to re-create the recipe at home I finally
called my dad. I had come up with the combination that made
those tasty parmesan wafers such a treat. We now serve these
parmesan wafers with salads, soups and on occasion as a simple
appetizer.
Now when my dad comes to visit I still make this special treat
that we discoverd together.
1 Cup grated parmesan cheese, grate with the largest holes on
the
grater
1 Tbs all-purpose flour
¼ tsp ground pepper
Stir together all three ingredients. Spoon tablespoon amounts
of mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place
each spoon full about 4 inches apart. Flatten each mound with
the back of a greased spatula.
Bake at 375° in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes or
until golden brown. Cool slightly then transfer to plates.
