I was lucky enough to grow up in an Italian household with family members who cooked and baked and passed on the recipes. My memories of holidays are primarily ones of food as each year the same delicious food was served and appreciated with a few new additions here and there. On this page, you will find simple recipes to incorporate into your rotation of meals from breakfast items to dinners to desserts.

 

Italians showcase their hospitality and their affection thru the food they make and consider food medicine (in how the food makes you feel physically & emotionally as well as how it provides nutrients). Mealtimes are a time to gather friends (old and new) and family, to pause and savor food, to create memories and traditions, to slow down, and to make connections.
