Sharing a passion for food

Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce
Like my mother and grandmother, whenever I make fresh homemade ravioli I always make more than for just one meal. It’s an awful lot of work for just a meal, so while the pasta machine is out and the ingredients … Continue reading

Pasta With Broccoli Rabe and Sausage
When I eat broccoli rabe today I think of my Uncle Sal Arestia and my Aunt Mary. They lived in Brooklyn in an apartment on 16th Avenue and 75th Street, about two blocks away from where I used to live. … Continue reading
The Way To A Man's Heart Is Through His Stomach – Manicotti
It’s been said that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. Through my personal experience , as of lately, that quote has been severely neglected, or totally ignored. But back in the day when my sister Annette … Continue reading
Pastina with Ricotta
It was our little piece of Heaven. The block, 77 Street Brooklyn. It’s where we all grew up, had fun together, spent our early years together. Some of the best years. Before marriage, before growing up and having responsibility. Before having … Continue reading
