Simplicity

By Amber Saunders

Walk into the Italian world, 
Ingredients natural and flavors bold.
Four to five ingredients in one dish, 
Tasting the foods is the wish. 
Taste the food — it is good! 

Why combine herbs, onion, and garlic?
The only Italian response is “sick”!

Don't cover up nature with sauces, 
Italian chefs will tell you they are the bosses. 
They know the ways of their mother and grandmother, 
And don't consider doing things by hand a bother. 

“Keep it simple,” they say! 
Prepare it well, 
And enjoy it with friends with whom you dwell.
