from page 93
'same potato varieties and often vary
the herbs, I use the same cooking
method.
The same is true for the other
recipes included here. Sometimes,
whitefish or sea bass replace the
salmon. Often diced zucchini substi-
tutes for tomatoes and there are
times when I throw a handful of
pine nuts on at the last minute.
So, keep making your old
favorites. There's a good reason
they're standards. But if you like,
you can alter them slightly by alter-
ing ingredients.
Some of my favorite recipes fol-
low. Go ahead. Take a side street.
