            If this is your first visit to this site it might help to know what the symbols mean.  “EVOO” means Extra Virgin Olive Oil, “TT” means “To Taste,”  “AN” means “As Needed,”  “+” means “Teaspoon,” “T” means “Tablespoon” and “G” means Garnish.  MIP is an abbreviation for the French phrase mise en place which means to “to put in place” or to have at hand those things you need to prepare the recipe.

            The recipes in this series also use a unique numerical system, which I have devised, that speeds things up.  Every ingredient is listed in the order it is to be used.  If to be used together, they all have the same number.  With experience only these numbers are necessary to master the recipe. It’s quick and easy.  Try it!
