"A simple marinated zucchini salad from Italy.
The zucchini is uncooked but through marinating and the use of plenty of lemon juice the zucchini acquires an "al dente"/semi-cooked texture. I only make this recipe at the peak of zucchini season in summer when quality and selection are best. From Mediterranean Light. Especially good with..."

"I should call this lazy granita as the use of the food processor makes this simple and less labor intensive than the typical process of watching the freezing ice and regularly breaking it up. This is a delightful summer treat that satisifies the need for an evening sweet. Cooking time is freezing time."

"This is the potluck/picnic dish people demand I make late summer. You don't need to like eggplant to love this! Amazingly, it is served at room temperature, and keeps for 3 weeks in the refrigerator. I have been carrying this recipe with me since 1977 from the May issue of Bon Appetit, and each time I move, the panic doesn't leave until I..."

"Limoncello, Sicily's signature liqueur, is easy to make at home. Perfect for those hot summer days... a cool explosion of the senses. This is the best Limoncello recipe I have come across, I think the secret that makes this one stand apart is the addition of the zest from one lime. Please use organic lemons and limes for this recipe. If they are..."

"This is a common lunchtime sandwich in Naples, Italy. When I lived there, I ate them at least three times a week. It is perfectly acceptable to add other stuff like capers, oregano, crushed black olives, etc. but the basic sandwich is so glorious that you really don't need to get complicated. This simple recipe is the epitome of summer to me. Feel..."

Ingredients: pepper, dried basil...

"I made this up from craving bruschetta but also wanting pasta...first I thought spaghetti would be great with this but then realised curly pasta would go well because of being able to hold the juice...any curly pasta would do.

Also, you can eat this cold or hot. I ate it cold and it was delicious...great on a hot day!"

Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, other Italian pasta...

"My daughter works at an Italian restaurant and brought home something similar to this. We experimented and here it is. I love the fact that this doesn't need to be cooked--it's so fresh! The better your tomatoes are, the better this will be. I like to use grape tomatoes or roma. Please feel free to adjust any ingredient amounts to your taste...."
