Anchovy Pesto Toast and the Weekly Menu #CooktheBooks

Pesto and Anchovies are combined and placed onto sourdough bread, sprinkled with Mozzarella and toasted before being finished under the broiler. 

I was inspired to make this dish after reading The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson.

Pasta with Spiced Vegetables and Anchovies #FishFridayFoodies

This savory. slightly spicy sauce is a great way to introduce more vegetables into your diet.  The anchovies melt into the sauce giving it a wonderful flavor that will have people wondering what your secret ingredient could be.

Welcome to Fish Friday Foodies.......

Aargh Matey, I'm serving up some Pirate Pasta Puttanesca #CooktheBooks

How can you not get lost in a novel that has Pirates, swashbuckling, cooking and adventures on the high seas?  This fun novel, Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown, has it all plus it's all intertwined with a love story.  So much fun!!

And wine....did I mention this novel also has wine? I loved this selection of Cook the Books!!
