The heart of any Italian home is the kitchen, and it was no different in the Caruso home. Many memories are around the kitchen tables - I say 'tables,' because most Italian homes had two kitchens: one upstairs (used primarily in the winter because it was warmer), and one downstairs (used primarily in the summer, because it was cooler). The sense of smell can trigger the strongest of memories. The smell of basil, or tomato sauce cooking on the stove, will send me back to my childhood!
Mom was an artist in the kitchen, and one of the things I miss the most is her cooking. So I created this page to record and share as many of her recipes. I have started with a few that were given to me directly by my mom, and one that I remember from when I was very small. If you have a recipe that was given to you buy mom, please complete the form at the bottom of the page to share!
