Nyokki it is then, funny becuase I thoght 'cci' was pronounced 'chee' in Italian. Thankyou to both of you at least now I won't look like a chump if I go to an Italian restaurant. I'd appreciate some recipe ideas, I've got one for pumpkins and one for tomato pesto (with garlic, pancetta, red onion, chili and tinned tomato) served with parmesan. Really lovely, but I could do with some more.
