Italian Food Italian Food Quick/Easy Recipes Le Basi Classic Recipes From Kyle Phillips, your Guide to Italian Food I had planned to put my comments on food fraud legislation -- which Italy seems to have done away with -- from the latest issue of Cosa Bolle in Pentola here, but have changed my mind -- the days are longer, and the added light is a welcome antidote both to this worrisome development, and to the unending drama surrounding Prime Minister Berlusconi.
