Culinary Quiz of the Day
If you could invite a person who is no longer living to dinner 1. Who would that person be? 2. What would you serve?
My answer: Orson Welles. Since he loved life and food I would serve a red wine friendly dinner. I would start off with a Pasta Puttanesca with either linguine or penne and then for secondi I would serve a bone-in ribeye steak with some sauteed spinach or rapini on the side. For dessert I would do a coffee granita with Amaretto whipped cream.
Watch for my recipe for Puttanesca sauce in an upcoming entry (keeps you reading!)

I would invite Grace Patricia Grimaldi, a.k.a Princess Grace of Monaco. I would ask her what it was like living in what is basically The Riviera, and how she coped with such a huge change. She never learnt to speak French, icidentally! What food did she miss from Philadelphia,and what French food did she develop a passion for. She regularly made breakfast scrapple, I hear, for her visiting American friends. And of course, like everyone else, I would worship her too! My favourite image of Grace is one of her attending a very stiff and formal gala, and she is clutching an ice cream cone in her one hand! Priceless.
