Cooking With Nonnna: Stuffed Eggplant


Nonna is Italian for grandmother. In Italian it is a term of endearment. A term of respect.

Cooking With Nonna carries on this wonderful tradition by showing incredible recipes, created before your eyes.

In this video, you will get a wonderful demonstration on how to stuff an eggplant. The texture of eggplant is such that it resembles meat.

And in this episode you are going to have some fun.

Don't worry if the eggplant changes color. Eggplant oxidizes after you cut it.

"Food is like art...if you like art, you will like food!"

It's Not the Heat of the Oven....

Read John Arena's Article in Peter Reinhart's Pizza Quest

According to my friend, John Arena of Metro Pizza in Las Vegas, the heat of the oven is not the most critical part of the pizza experience.

John says:
The enjoyment of a pizza has less to do with the heat of the oven and more to do with the warmth of the pizzeria experience.


This is a great article. for me it speaks volumes of the heart and soul of the pizzaiolo (or pizzaiola).

You can read the rest of the article here at Pizza Quest.

Simply outstanding. Please let me know what you think.

pizza on earth,
