The Kitchen Flowers serves as the ideal kitchen companion when cooking. This beautiful volume is my first book to provide information about pasta, cooking oils and cooking tools. There are many other delights in the book. The unexpected recipe notes and wine parings that make a fun presence in the kitchen. These recipes are everything from Mediterranean pasta to Mexican pasta. While most of them are breezy and ideal for a Tuesday some are meant to cook on the rack beneath a main dish so they get done simultaneously. They can be a go to source for those looking for authentic Italian cooking. For exciting finds at the farmer's market to your own garden's bounty and even discoveries from your local grocery store these recipes and cooking tools will help you highlight the flavor for your fresh pasta dish. A dish doesn't need to require a lot of pans and tools to be downright delicious. Prepare them as is or change them and substitute lighter ingredients to suit your own taste or dietary needs.
