SC - A Dilemma on what to cook for Dinner-HELP!

[ana l. valdes]

I can give you a recipe I took from the Code Romanoff, atributed to
Leonardo da Vinci.
It was polenta (cornflour) with mushrooms, zucchini and a lot of basel
and nuts and garlic.
If you are interested, I can try to translate it.
It was cheap, plenty to fill a lot of empty bellies and very easy to do.
And wonderful good.
