I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Scarpaccia

2 -3 Zucchini, sliced very thin
1-2 Onion, sliced thin
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup Flour
1/3 cup Yellow Cornmeal
1 cup water
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1 - 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
Olive Oil
Corn meal
Fresh Basil or  Rosemary

Slice zucchini very thin. Add salt and allow to drain. Press any remaining moisture out with a clean kitchen towel. Sauté onions and zucchini with a little olive oil until almost tender. Mix flour,  cornmeal, water,  salt and pepper into a thin better. Add all the onions and zucchini and mix thoroughly . Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and oil with olive oil.  Press zucchini mixture to cover and compress well. Adding a piece of parchment paper on top and pressing works well. Sprinkle with a little more cornmeal, some olive oil and fresh basil or rosemary and bake at 400 degrees 30-40 minutes.  Allow to cool at least an hour to crisp up, and slice into squares.
