Tasty Tips from Tina - Farmers Market Zucchini’s
July 14, 2008
Anyone who knows me can appreciate the fact that the idea of me writing a food column is hysterical. I’m the kind of girl who uses a recipe to make ice. The good news is my mother was a terrific cook,and when she passed away she left me a ton of recipes both American and Italian. Not Italian like you see on the “Food Network” where you need Italian For Dummies to figure out the ingredients. These are the kind that when she cooked,the neighbors would be drawn in to sneak a taste unlike mine where I usually have the fire department stopping by to see where the smoke is coming from.
The first recipe I chose to share is Zucchini Pizza. This is a great summer dish that is easy to make, and you can take advantage of the local, fresh vegetables you can get at the Farmer’s Market. The Farmer’s Market will open every Saturday, starting July 19 from 8:30 until noon and run until the end of September.
The second reason being, I’m not sure how your family is, but my family is sick of me cooking the same thing day in and day out.I am always looking for quick and easy recipes. Also, this is a dish that you can eat hot or cold so it’s great for when you have to bring a dish for a cookout. Forget the macaroni salad. You be the star and bring something new. I guarantee people will ask you for the recipe.
This recipe comes from a little book called An Italian Cookbook, written by the parishioners of the Ascension Church in Jeannette PA where I grew up. This is like a brag book of the best recipes from the best Italian cooks in the area.
