Wannabe pasta-maker? IMPERIA: this is the magic word.Imperia is a beautiful stainless steel machine look-alike the one produced in the thirties here in Italy. Yes, they make it to date, and sell it with an identical packaging. Just below the Imperia box:Now they sell also a motorized version, but, bedda matri, don't buy this american rubbish. I know that in your daydream you can make pasta

Bedda matri, it's a lot of time that I don't give to you Americans a good recipe to solace your sad palates.This blog have had an astonishing outcome, millions of people beg me for another recipe: «please, please! Give us something to cook this Sunday, we are bored with Thanksgiving turkey! Please enlighten us!»We Sicilians are very generous people. So, let's get the Sicilian-English dictionary

Bedda matri, I didn't know that you Americans cooked our national Sicilian "scacce" (ska-tchee) or impanate of calzones or pie, as you call them. It's and excellent idea, I'll cook it when my wife's watching her tv novelas and doesn't turn away her eys from tv neither during commercials, cause she is afraid to miss the beginning when commercial is over.So, you surely will appreciate my scaccia

Ok, words as "cramp", "shit", "caca", "dirt" or similar, usually did not appear in cooking recipes. But I consider this a particular case.If you want, you can take from this post considerations about shit alone. Otherwise you can ignore shit, or believe that I really intended "ship" or "chic" and only consider this spaghetti in cuttlefish ink recipe. Or, if you have hard stomach and can do it

I didn't frequently perform this recipe until my father had been saved from a hearth attack by these cavati with pork gravy. I'll tell you this tale briefly.We were here in Scoglitti and we was having dinner. It was actually a little party, there were relatives came from Australia and cousins from Florida.

Ok. Let's start.I was only a young boy when my grand mother Matilda, here in Scoglitti, told me:"Little boy, you have to eat a lot to became a strong a big man. You have to eat a lot and cook your dishes with a lot of olive-oil, because olive oil will make you beautiful."My grand mother was 4 feet and 11 inches tall and weighed 170 lb.

Photo Robert Capa © 2001 by Cornell Capa / Magnum PhotosI will be short.You Americans don't apply yourselves when you eat or cook (although your big hot-dog with a lot of sauce is pretty good). Eating is really important. A Sicilian man never eat something like pizza with ananas . You do it.So this blog have a Mission: to teach you americans how to eat better. To point you the Way. No more
