Don't count on this recipe book for any accuracy. It's bagna CAUDA, not bagna "calda." It's literally your first recipe and it's wrong. Caesar salad was invented by Caesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico and is not related to Julius Caesar. The recipes are good but this book is riddled with sloppy errors.

Very basic and unsophisticated. I haven't been to the restaurant in 30 years so maybe that is the issue.

Good recipes that add some food to extreme amounts of garlic. Mmmmmm. Garlic crab.
