Just browse through the cards until you hit upon your ideal combination, and then you're minutes away from a nutritious, mouthwatering meal.
And the recipes . . . for a simple family supper you might try Tomato and Mozzarella Salad, Chicken Marsala with Baby Onions, and hot Garlic Bread. Or for a special-occasion dinner, serve up Sweet Pepper and Pesto Crostini, Neapolitan Pork Loin with Mushrooms and Green Peppers, and finish the meal off with Raspberry Custard Tarts. There are 342 years' worth of different meal combinations in Italian Dinners 1, 2, 3 and you'll never have to eat the same meal twice--unless, of course, you want to!
Each recipe has an introduction on the back of the card that offers suggestions for other recipes in the book that work well with that dish.

So, no more 5:00 p.m. anxiety--Italian Dinners 1, 2, 3 is the ultimate cure for the "what to make for dinner" blues.
