"I want to thank you SOOO, SOOO, much for the squash flower fritters cooking lesson/recipe today. I am completely happy with my life now that I know how to make them like my grandmother did all of those years when I was growing up in her kitchen in Greenwich (Italian poor section by the waterfront :))!!!  I learned the new fritters with the flower from Sally's recipe and like grandmother's from Balbina. God is my witness that I had pen and paper as a child trying so hard to write or decode her recipe with three handfuls or half a handful, etc. I think I tossed them after I realized that I was going to tower over her in height and hand size in the future horizons. I thank you from the bottom of my stomach (ha, ha, he, he) and heart!!!"

Cari Amici,

New Classes Just Announced at
Cucina Casalinga

Summer is winding down and we've been busy working on creating menus for the new classes for the rest of 2010.

In preparation for our Fruili-Venezia Giulia Fall 2011 Tour, I will be in Italy at the end of August. This is an area in the northern most part of Italy, rich in wineries, San Danieli prosciutto and seafood on the Trieste coast. My husband and I will travel there and finalize the itinerary. This will be a tour for wine lovers and romantics who in addition to the wine and food will feast on the natural splendor of the region and the charming coast of Trieste. There will also be a new tour in the Spring of 2011 to Sicily. Check back soon or call for details!

Welcome back to all of our special friends who cook with us in our kitchen.

Buona Cucina,


Sally Maraventano
