Title: Oily? Yes
Review: They should call this book GREASE FROM A MONASTERY GARDEN. The recipes use way too much oil to the point that they're not healthy for any living being. If this is the way monks eat no wonder there are so many fat monks. Take the recipe for Risotto della Certosina. Right away you see the ingredients that begin with "Half a cup of olive oil (good quality)." I don't care if it's good quality or not that's a lot for 4-6 servings--that's two tablespoons per person. The way this recipe (for mushrooms and rice) works you could have just used one tablespoon of olive oil and it would taste just as good.The author has a nice style however, and the illustrations are a dandy delight in pale shades of red, silly pictures of monks having fun and growing vegetables.
