"Seasonal cooking is anyway better suited to those who live in sunnier climates. The rest of us need to make the most of what warmth is offered, and much of the time this has to emanate from the kitchen rather than from the skies outside. Summer is an idea, a memory, a hopeful projection. Sometimes when it's grey outside & cold within, we need to conjure up the sun, some light, a lazy feeling of having all the wide-skied time in the world to sit back and eat warmly with friends." Nigella Lawson
This sounded great for a light supper, and I used mini springform pans instead of one large one. The ricotta was delicious and light, the lemon zest making it a little more exciting, and went well with the sesame bread pictured. Unfortunately the radicchio took a one way trip to the bin- it was way too bitter, and really disappointing! Anyone else have the same reaction to this dish?

i like radicchio a lot, but only when really seasoned with a vinaigrette; it mellows it a bit. i once made a bean salad from Cupboard Love that was heavily dressed, and the radicchio was just delicious.
here is the link if you need to use up some more radicchio -- http://when-ilana-met-pantry.blogspot.com/2006/06/winters-eating.html
Hi Ilana, thanks for the tip, but the radicchio went straight in the bin. I doubt I will have the courage to buy one again...but if I do I'll try your way.
