Hello! I admit, I’m not sure where to post this…I’m not a very good cook. I have bought your “Rustic Italian Kitchen” cookbook, and I love it. I have made various recipes that my family has enjoyed. My problem is that I don’t have a lot of experience with cast iron skillets/frying. I made PORK CHOPS WITH VINEGAR SAUCE and my family really liked it. The problem-I had a lot of smoke in the house while making this dish. I had the stovetop on high…If I turn the stove down from high, or turn it to between 7 and 8, would it make it less smokey? My inadequate skill with a cast iron frying pan is kind of embarassing. I would love more advice on this topic! Thank you!
Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle.
A dish from Al Forno in Providence that Lucinda never forgot, and finally made from memory twenty years later: creamy double corn polenta with a crater of tomatoes on top.
