my mother could make meat loaf ,sause & box cake & jello when I was growing up. (a real American girl) I was 12 & started baking cream puffs I was hooked on baking. I married & my mother started giving me recipes when I realized we were
Barese and Calabrese I got some outside recipes which weren't great but since cooking with nonna I'm thrilled with all Nonna Romana's technics & recipes. one of my favorites is "S" cookies. I made the rainbow cookies with home made almond paste. nonna's zucchini parmagiana & my next biggie is mustaccioli & taralli all'uovo for my mother. She loves eating but never cooked Italian so I had to learn on my own. I'm 64, a grandma/widow & I live with my cats in Florida and no one to cook for. mom is in assisted living and eats the crap they make with con gusto. if I cook or make something for our Italian Heritage Social Club its usually cream puffs with my vanilla custard. we celebrate St Joseph's day & that inspires me to make your Zeppole San Giuseppe recipe. I'm so glad I found you but I had such a hard time registering with you. glad its done now! love you and nonna
