This outstanding fish dish in a light tomato sauce with onions, olives and capers was always a big hit with Chef Paolo's customers.  It is also one of my favorite dishes to make at home, especially when we have dinner guests.

1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth

The Perfect Scoop
I must start this review off with an apology. There is no excuse for waiting until mid-August to post a review of The Perfect Scoop. If this is the first you are hearing of this excellent book on all things ice cream, then I have let over two months of prime ice cream making and eating time this summer slip through your grip.

Summer's Bounty: Tomatoes
Mid-July through August is sometimes referred to as the Dog Days of Summer, but for me they are something special, the Tomato Days of Summer.
