| FOOD |LIGHTSUMMERFAREby Gloria MizziThe recipes I chose for thismonth are all very quick and easyto make. This is what makesthem ideal for the hot weatherwe usually experience at thistime of the year. Who wants tospend hours over a hot stoveand then face a messy kitchento clear? No one; and yours trulyis no exception. However, I makesure there is always somethingappetising from the refrigeratorto put on the table, apart fromloads of fruit and vegetableswhich can be quickly transformedinto tantalising salads.Baked ftira with different fillings of your choice makesan excellent starter and comes in handy as a suppersnack.The tuna fish mould can be prepared a day aheadand makes a complete meal accompanied by a salad.It is also ideal to serve at a buffet party.Nothing beats a good plate of pasta. So try thistypical Sicilian recipe of spaghetti with anchovies.Pine nuts and raisins or sultanas are often included inSicilian cookery; they give a rich taste to what wouldotherwise be considered a poor dish.And finally, a favourite dessert of mine - the Granitadi caffe’ con panna’. Satisfying, thirst quenching andoh! So luscious!L&s | august ’08 33
