Crumbed Veal w Peperonata di Mandorlata

My regular grocery and coffee stop is Fratteli Fresh in Danks Street, Waterloo (http://www.fratellifresh.com.au/). It's been my Saturday morning ritual for years now and I, like many people, am a fan of Cafe Sopra, upstairs above the fruit & veg area.

I just picked up the new recipe book published by Vogue; Seasonal Kitchen. The book is a collection of recipes from Sopra's head chef, Andy Bunn. I like the recipes laid out based on seasonality. Here's the first one I've tried from the "Summer" section...Yes I know it's Spring, so I got in a little early!
