I decided to write this post because over time I have learned that simple doesn’t always mean quick.   It just means easy,  not complicated.   I can’t handle difficult cooking.   I burn things too easily for starters.  Plus I can get scatterbrained and before I know it, dinner is at risk because I have to keep stopping to go back and forth between a cookbook and the stove just to make sure I didn’t skip step number 15 out of 20.  I just need to make great tasting meals that don’t require a Masters degree in cooking!  With Italian cooking this is possible.

This week’s recipe is chicken caccciatori (sometimes spelled catchatori),   it is very easy to make.  However, it will take about an hour in the oven.  Add in the 30 minutes prep time and  you have a 1 1/2 hour meal.   Quick?  Not totally, but certainly wasn’t hard or difficult to make.

Two weeks ago I did a video on Italian Wedding Soup, this week I’m doing chicken cacciatore, and then I’ll do some chicken piccata and now I’m thinking… is this really me cooking?   These are recipes for experienced professionals right – you know, the ones who have tv shows and write books?   Wrong.  These are recipes that if I can make, then so can you regardless of your level of expertise!

So what are you waiting for?   Start cooking and  Buon Appetito!
