Christmas Time Food, Sweets and Traditions

Drew and I are adding some of our favorite photos of Christmas traditions during the month of December!

Calamari

Crab Pasta

Panettone is a holiday tradition!

Our mom is famous for this red outfit at Christmas.

We are sitting down to our traditional "Wedding Soup" as a starter on Christmas Day.

Made a bunch of Pizzelle with my friend Anna the other night.

Here is my old Pizzelle recipe from the Caffe.

I love the old pieces of paper these recipes were written on.. this book had all my restaurants secrets in it!

Sprinkles add a festive touch to coffee drinks!

My pizzele recipe really doesn't make 100 cookies but it makes quite a few. People love this recipe.

Theresa,
Your pizzelle recipe is almost the same as my Grandma's. The two differences are she didn't add baking powder for a flatter pizzelle, and she doubled the recipe.

ps. love your web site.

About Theresa and Drew

We were brought up in a family that not only loves to cook and eat good food, but we made a living at it. Our parents and cousins came to America from Italy. We grew up working at the Italian restaurants they opened and once we grew up we opened many of our own. We spent holidays with our cousins and family at each other’s restaurants. Sometimes we would get together at one of our homes and the table seemed to be a mile long. The food was always endless. We learned to embrace and love the Italian traditions.

We decided to share our favorite dishes to make because our friends enjoy eating them and they always wanted to know how to make them.

We love to cook. We hope you will enjoy our recipes and try them yourself.
