To put it in terms any Italian food lover will understand: New Italian Recipes is dedicated to cooks who are searching for Italian dishes and Italian cooking techniques, but also very much for those who appreciate really "creative" cooking and don't mind breaking from the "traditional" a bit to accomplish this. That doesn't mean the recipes here are bazaar in any way, just "enhanced" to add texture and flavor -- and they are typically, due to some ingredient substitutions, less caloric than most comparable old country standards! Now that ought to appeal to the majority of you, aggressive or not. New Italian Recipes is for: Those who crave and absolutely relish the aroma of chopped onions, bell peppers and garlic roasting in a fragrant pool of extra virgin olive oil. Chef Dave of New Italian Recipes does, too... Those who salivate at the thought of biting into a rich, creamy pillow of chocolaty tiramisu. Chef Dave of New Italian Recipes does, too... Those who can't bear the thought of living without sun-dried tomatoes, eleven inch stems of rosemary, the fennel undertones of home-grown basil, Italian parsley, ten year old balsamic vinegar. Chef Dave of New Italian Recipes can't bear that thought, either... And to those who would argue that homemade pesto is more tantalizing than ice cream. Chef Dave of New Italian Recipes adamantly feels this way... and those who understand that thirty or forty cloves of garlic is a good "start". Chef Dave of New Italian Recipes would agree! And that without Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkled over the top, a dish is basically naked. Chef Dave of New Italian Recipes lives by this tenet... and that a meal-o -- sans vin-o -- is barbaric-o. This tenet epitomizes New Italian Recipes. That's what it's all about at NewItalianRecipes.com/!!
The key to drawing rave reviews on your Italian recipes is "to have a preparation edge". When Chef Dave first began exploring Italian cooking many years ago, he found most of the recipes a bit on the bland side. Now this is okay, maybe, if we are talking original and traditional recipes (the way Mama or Grandma or Papa used to make). But, many are pretty boring. So, in juicing up Italian recipes to better suit Dave's and his customer's and guest's tastes, he discovered some variations that really "rocked". Sometimes a little different is better, he discovered, (ala our unique tiramisu recipe listed under desserts).
All serious cooks need to read the following example of what this site is really all about! Spaghetti Sauce: Dave has tried a myriad of different combinations over the years. And presented here at New Italian Recipes is a sauce (or Italian "gravy") that has drawn raves above all others. This recipe for the Italian staple does not use sugar as many red sauce recipes do (pure, raw tomato sauce tends to be a bit bitter, whether you remove the skins and seeds from the tomatoes or not). Instead, Dave sautés his flavoring vegetables over low heat and covered to release the juices, then he adds red wine and balsamic vinegar (this remarkable Italian product actually "sweetens" a dish). He then lets the liquid reduce, thus adding an incredible "layer" of flavor. To add another "layer" of flavor, Dave then adds "Butter Buds" a no calorie or fat, butter substitute and lets it "Marry" with the vegetables and wine/Balsamic reduction. (You can find Butter Buds in the Spice section of your super market.) Then another "layer of flavor" goes in (the tomatoes), and so forth and so forth. And, folks, that's how you wow a crowd. Go make a copy of this terrific sauce right now! Chef Dave's "Super Gourmet" Spaghetti Recipe. And it's relatively "easy" by gourmet cooking standards.
Then there are a number of other "super gourmet" creations (as opposed to updated traditional). That's why we named this site New Italian Recipes! All original, all exclusively Chef Dave's creations unless otherwise noted.
