Sharing Your Passion for Homemade Pizza, Bread and Pasta
In The Jerk, Steve Martin plays a jerk, who meets up with a variety of whacky characters and, for a while, works in a circus. Do you remember that scene where he’s sitting in a trailer and eating Pizza in a Cup. Back in the day, that was probably a ludicrous notion, but times have [...]

I just learned something new from my local newspaper. Connecticut has three squirrel hunting seasons, and in fact, squirrel is more popular than one might have thought. “Right now, I have five squirrels in the Crock-Pot at home, cooking,” Enie, 59, said prior to the festivities. “I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone try it [...]

Like, 1/8-inch thin crust. I like my crust thin. I’m too in love with the flavors of the toppings to end up with a thick, fluffy, bready crust, and I love finishing a few slices and then munching on the hard, crunchy, pizza bones that remain in your plate. They’re like crunchy bread sticks that [...]

A new wood-fired brick oven pizzeria, named Bufalina, opened close to where we live. We’re really happy to have them nearby because now it’s a 10-minute drive for delicious pizza instead of 25-30 minutes. Bacon and onion pizza is a family favorite, so on our first trip, we ordered the Porri pizza. Porri is the [...]

I might even call it food porn. Good luck trying to find the Salvatore Bklyn ricotta that she uses. Best as [...]

Back in the 70′s (and still in some places today), this is how real bagels were made: NYC Bagels are the best that I’ve tasted in my lifetime. But even in NYC, it’s getting harder to find bagels that are made the old-fashioned way. Authentic bagels are made with malt, though today, sugar and corn [...]

In Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves), Antonio Ricci and his son Bruno take a moment out of their very frustrating day to forget about their problems and get some pizza. Unfortunately, the restaurant that they go to is a bit too high-class for pizza, so instead they order up some Mozzarella in Carrozza — which [...]

Can you imagine being in an Italian-American family and having to eat a gluten-free diet? Pizza? Pasta? Bread? How would you survive?

This semi-dense, sweet and egg-glazed bread has been an Easter tradition since before I can remember. I think this is a modification of what some Italian bakers create when they bend the braided loaf around so that it makes a circle, and then they put decorated hard-boiled eggs into the loaf. But I can’t confirm [...]

Let me tell you about the time my father had his cholesterol checked the week after Easter. On second thought, nevermind. Instead, let’s just think about the flavors that make our Easter, in our Italian American (mixed with some French Canadian) family, that make us really look forward to this holiday. Last year we talked [...]
