Fresh Cavatelli with Cauliflower, Almonds & Toasted Bread Crumbs
Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables, and I regret that many people don’t sufficiently appreciate its unique flavor and nutritional value. This is not the case in Molise, where it is cooked often and creatively. This recipe has some complexity with its roasted almonds and bread crumbs.

Braised Chicken With Beer
In Trentino-Alto Adige they brew good beer, which they enjoy by the steinful and use in cooking, too. Like wine, beer can be an important element in a dish, as I have found in two separate dishes in my new book – one with chicken and one with braised beef. Here, beer in the roasting pan contributes to a very tender roast chicken with a great crust.

Baked Apples
Baked apples are a favorite treat and comfort food in Trentino-Alto Adige as they are here. This recipe emphasizes the treat aspect, since the apples are draped with melted chocolate, chopped walnuts, and Amarena cherries. Many apple varieties are good bakers, including Cameo, Cortland, Empire, Jonagold, Northern Spy, and Rome.
