Having quite a few of the ingredients needed for these Donna Hay recipes in my fridge I decided to give them a go. The ravioli was easy to make as it used purchased Gow Gee wrappers and had a simple filling of ricotta, spinach, parmesan, basil and lemon rind. It had a nice light, fresh flavour due to the lemon and basil. One ravioli did lose its filling while cooking which must have been because I didn't wet or press the edges together well enough but the rest of them turned out well. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to get fresh mozarella to serve it with so just used the "processed" type which obviously has a totally different texture. I would like to try the recipe again when I can get to a deli to buy fresh mozarella. Rating 7 out of 10.
The Veal with Caper Butter was also very easy and full of flavour. Lemon, capers, parsley and butter....yum....you really can't go wrong! I have decided I am a salted caper convert and like them much better than the capers in vinegar. I have never seen them in the supermarket but they are readily available in delis. I would definitely make this again as an easy, tasty week night meal. Rating 8 out of 10.
