How to Cook Authentic Italian Food Like My Grandmothers...

True story:


When I was a kid, I would watch my Italian grandmother's cook. They were wizards in the kitchen.

The never measured anything. They never used a recipe. But everything they made came out perfect.

I asked them a number of times to tell me their secrets... sadly I only learned one recipe, spaghetti sauce. (gravy).

They both laughed when I asked them food related questions.

They could easily tell me what went into each dish.

But, they explained, they could not tell me the exact amounts
They were not sure.
They did not know themselves.
They had never written anything down.
It was all permanently etched in their soul.

And that's how they cooked, from their soul.

My grandmothers created soul food. Italian soul food.

They both gave me the following cooking advice:


"Put in a little bit of this and a little bit of that".

I told them I had no idea what they meant.

"Put in enough spice until it tastes right," they explained.

I always remembered what they said. I just wish there was a way for me to learn how they made their food taste the way they did.

I thought all of my grandmothers recipes had been lost.

Until now...

I recently discovered a resource which was like stepping back in time.

Picture yourself, having a priceless road map which shows you how to make
all of those old recipes of real Italian food with easy step by step directions.

I want to offer you an opportunity to discover this amazing resource.

I edited it, added some to it and renamed it.
I call it: The Happy Italian Cookbook. Because that's how my
grandmothers were when they cooked.

They were happy when they cooked. And you were happy when you ate it...

And you always ate..Or else!

Here is where you can take a peek:

The R Rated Pizza Video: Pizza is Sexy

During one of my conversations with Ed Ladou  (creator of Wolfgang Puck's Pizza as well as California Pizza Kitchen pizza), he remarked: "Pizza is sexy".

Ed went on to explain  how the popularity of pizza has really exploded. And how the image of pizza has changed dramatically over the years.  When Ed first started making pizza, everything was different.

Ed knew pizza. He was a true pizza philosopher and master pizzaiolo.

I wonder what Ed would have thought about the following video.
I'm sure he would have said: "See I told you so..." And Ed, I miss you. You were a true original.

I have to give this video an "R" rating. It's not for everyone. So be forewarned...

But if you like pizza, then you will like this video.

Yeah, I guess Ed was right all along..."Pizza is sexy..."






You can watch a huge collection of pizza videos at Pizza Therapy.
