We're in June, and one would expect that to mean refreshing dishes to take the edge off hot weather. Unfortunately, it has been unusually cool and rainy in Tuscany this week, while there has been flooding north of us. If your summer weather is behaving better, you might start with:
Pappa al Pomodoro, the Tuscan answer to the problem of stale bread in summer. Followed by:
Veal Scaloppine With Olives & More, a simple, zesty dish that will inspire your appetite. Served with a tossed salad seasoned with vinegar, olive oil and salt -- no pepper -- in the Italian way. Followed by:
Fresh fruit. Both apricots and peaches are quite nice at this time of year, as are cherries.
To drink? A Bardolino Chiaretto.
