**Follow me on my journey- as I cook my way through David Rocco's new cook book; Dolce Vita!

No Kitchen Tools Required

I love how in the Dolce Vita cook book, no expensive instruments are required. It makes sense because most Italians use their hands and basic kitchen tools to prepare their meals. It also ensures that the flavors are preserved.
Today I made Insalata del Contadino (Farmer's Breakfast). All I needed for this recipe, was an old-fashioned Mortar and Pestle- to crush the garlic and tomatoes.
To be honest, we make this all summer long because the tomatoes are in season. David adds a few different ingredients in this dish though, and it is infused with delicious flavour. Make sure you dunk your bread into this dish!
