What happened to B. Smith? <BR/><BR/>I agree Nigella likes to eat as does Paula Deen but I can only watch a cooking show if I like their recipes. It why I couldn't watch Rachel Ray but could watch Ina Gartner who is kind of boring.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-75020073600377798152008-10-15T23:44:00.000+02:002008-10-15T23:44:00.000+02:00Giada is ok, I just find it hard to believe she ac...Giada is ok, I just find it hard to believe she actually eats anything she's sooo skinny. I like Nigella because she's got hips and eats on camera and looks really sexy doing it! It's a nice change.

I don't know how well Nigella's show did in America. I didn't watch that much because I wasn't really a fan of what she cooked.

My grandmother was from the school of thought that the name of the sauce must be honored by the inclusion of three crushed anchovies. Not everyone agrees -- it was a sauce made for sailors, originally. And, in reality, you can throw anything you want into a beautiful sauce like this!Diana Strinati Baurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152721181032796074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-86370868677732432952008-10-15T16:20:00.000+02:002008-10-15T16:20:00.000+02:00Thanks so much for this, especially your comment a...Thanks so much for this, especially your comment about bottled sauces being too sweet. My marinara sauces have universally sucked and this looks very doable, and if it has a proven track record - buono! (Hey, was that correct Italian? I have no idea what I'm doing). <BR/><BR/>I love many of Giada's recipes, so I'm game to try this. I'm supposedly missing WCW today to join blog action day, but my mom had a crisis yesterday (she's okay now) but my brain isn't functioning and I'm not sure I'm going to be writing on anything today.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-71312176362983116992008-10-15T14:41:00.000+02:002008-10-15T14:41:00.000+02:00I've never heard of Giada either, she looks very g...I've never heard of Giada either, she looks very glam, is she an American/Italian version of Nigella? Maybe you've never heard of Nigella Lawson, kind of sexy, kind of glam, kind of greedy, I think she tried to make a go of the US but I'm not sure they liked her.<BR/><BR/>Anyway the sauce looks great, the same as I make minus the precision measurements. Now I have to go catch up on the rest of your blog, I think I saw something about the the Vatican City a few posts back.'A Tuscan view.....from Umbria'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300196294007291408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-89828976131679678762008-10-15T14:28:00.000+02:002008-10-15T14:28:00.000+02:00Mmmmm!
