I have tasted tonnato only once and found it ...Val!<br />I have tasted tonnato only once and found it tinny and off putting... but when I look at the luscious list of ingredients in this recipe, it has to be delicious. I must try it - and with the Thermomix, it will be as smooth as velvet. I can't wait. I loved the description of your Silver Palate cookbook! Mine is almost pristine. It actually takes a post like this and someone like you to inspire me to use what I have. I continue to - FAR too much - just invent a recipe with what is in season and not be as creative as I could be and should be and would learn so much more from - by using my recipe books! <br />I see you are away - and have been away a couple of times this past while. I would love to join you on one of your food adventures! I am thinking of going to Mara Jernigan's cooking class on Salt Spring Island in September. Does that interest you? There are - so far - four to five of us here that might make the trip. It would be a great time.<br />I have been in a real blogging slump since Eat Alberta. I have so much to catch up on, including myself, that to read other posts and comment is overwhelming for me. To post my own posts is overwhelming. Yet, here I sit and am thoroughly inspired by you... and get why I love blogging and reading your post, but the time invested is huge!<br />Miss you and am committed to do better. Have a GREAT trip. Loved reading about the spicey paneer, too. It is such fun to make, isn't it...( but your latest version would burn my delicate litte tongue!)<br />XO<br />ValerieA Canadian Foodiehttp://www.acanadianfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-14415519421542416462011-05-20T01:03:28.352-07:002011-05-20T01:03:28.352-07:00what a gorgeous salad, val! you've made a won...what a gorgeous salad, val! you've made a wonderful twist on a classic.gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368850949339758604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-75368109579630452292011-05-19T10:25:38.780-07:002011-05-19T10:25:38.780-07:00That sounds delicious, I love salads with nice big...That sounds delicious, I love salads with nice big chunks of tomato in them :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022753471254796721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-57467754446594136612011-05-19T06:22:41.171-07:002011-05-19T06:22:41.171-07:00Although I'm not a tuna fan, I can see the app...Although I'm not a tuna fan, I can see the appeal of a nice fresh salad like this!<br /><br />You have two fundamental truths in this blog. One is "the key to outstanding meals was using good quality ingredients." So true. I think a lot of my cooking "talent" comes from the fact that I don't compromise on ingredients (which means I spend ridiculous amounts of money on food sometimes). <br /><br />The other truth is that recipes are merely guidelines. To me, a recipe is a story about food, and everyone has his or her own story to tell!The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-44701526096946450222011-05-19T04:56:10.148-07:002011-05-19T04:56:10.148-07:00This is a lovely light and refreshing saladThis is a lovely light and refreshing saladMaris (In Good Taste)http://ingoodtasteblog.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-65879981679218422172011-05-18T14:09:41.914-07:002011-05-18T14:09:41.914-07:00The Silver Palate cookbook was a favorite of mine ...The Silver Palate cookbook was a favorite of mine for years and I'm sure it is one of the ones I retained move after move.<br /><br />Your interpretation looks great!FOODaloguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355740020698779655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-71201516923195863172011-05-18T10:28:10.634-07:002011-05-18T10:28:10.634-07:00My silver pallate book is also well used.

It was from a dear little shop that had a wide front porch with white rocking chairs. I plopped right down into one and dove right into that innovative cookbook. It is now much used as is the second one. I met both the ladies at a gourmet food show in Atlanta years ago. They were there introducing their jams and sauces which were so delicious.
