Monaco, oh, Monaco. If ever there were a dream of opulence and grandeur, you are it. With the nearest neighbors being France and Italy and sitting so elegantly on the Mediterranean sea, it is the setting of dreams.

Part of the fun of cooking new recipes from around the world is discovering new flavors. Often I lean toward quintessential dishes. Sometimes even "the dish" of a country. And sometimes I just want to be inspired by the flavors, the scents, the look, or feel of a place and its food.

We didn't get a chance to make Schnitzel last year, too much summer travel to fit in all the recipes. I hadn't even planned to make it this year, thinking it would be complicated or take too long. I was wrong! So easy, so quick, so delicious.
