Alessandra's Food is Love www.youtube.com/ It’s a vessel for connection,
a conduit for memories, and a bridge that transcends time and distance. Buon appetito!

Welcome to the culinary journey that is deeply rooted in the heart of Italy’s enchanting coast and
lovingly crafted in the kitchens of my homeland, Vico Equense, Naples. Nestled between the ancient
ruins of Pompeii and the picturesque allure of Sorrento lies the breathtaking Peninsula Sorrentina,
where every corner whispers tales of rich culinary traditions and cherished family recipes. I am Aless

andra, a proud ambassador of these time-honored culinary treasures, transplanted to the
United States but forever tethered to the flavors and memories of my upbringing. Yearning to
preserve the essence of my heritage, I embarked on a journey, not merely to cook, but to immortalize
the culinary legacies passed down through generations. With each dish, I aim to not only teach my daughters the sacred art of Italian cooking but also to
share with you, dear reader, the profound truth that food is indeed love. In this cookbook, you will find a collection of recipes lovingly curated from the kitchens of my
nonna, mom, and aunts, each one a testament to the enduring bond between food and family. From
the simplicity of rustic pasta dishes to the indulgence of decadent desserts, every recipe is imbued
with the warmth and flavor of home. As you embark on your own culinary adventures with these recipes, may they not only tantalize your
taste buds but also transport you back to the comforting embrace of nonna’s kitchen, where laughter
echoed and love overflowed. Grazie for allowing me to share a piece of my heart with you. Alessandra

Happiness is truly composed of small moments, and this one is a testament to that. Robert, a gentleman I met through my cooking channel, is a source of immense joy. It fills me with pride to witness his dedication to preserving traditions and the pride he takes in recreating my recipes.

Crema Pasticciera/Custard Cream

Ingredients:

-400 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 8 yolks
- 1 liter whole milk
- Peel of one lemon

The perfect custard is essential for creating the ideal St Joseph’s Zeppole. This custard recipe serves as the foundation for many delightful desserts.

I typically prepare it the night before to allow it to cool completely and set overnight in the refrigerator.

As a child, we frequently enjoyed custard cream as a warm snack. To this day, it remains a cherished comfort food for my daughters.

I hope you make this recipe because food truly is love.

SAVOIARDI SARDI Snowed in
Kitchen warm.
Hearts a little heavy. 🤍❄️🇺🇸🇮🇹♥️

Today we made another batch of Savoiardi.
Not because we needed dessert.
Not because we had it all together.
But because sometimes when the world feels frozen, you soften what you can.
Eggs, flour, sugar on the counter
RAI ITALIA in the background
Cold windows, warm oven.
And for a moment, everything felt enough.
Here’s to small comforts.
Here’s to cozy kitchens.
Here’s to family we love and through food we show love.
One complaint!!! From my niece Roberta
“Zia you didn’t make enough” lol
Savoiardi Sardi

3 large eggs at room temperature
100 g sugar
100 g flour sifted
Bustina vanillina and/or lemon zest
Whip up egg whites with half the sugar to stiff peaks
Set aside
Whip up yolks with rest of sugar until creamy and pale yellow.
Add vanilla or lemon zest or both
Sift in flour to yolks gently mixing and folding in egg whites.
Pipe on tray lined with parchment paper
Bake 350 for 10 minutes. Don’t overcook.

Meet Patrizio, head butcher at Deco supermarkets, Traditionally, Sunday was a day of rest, family, and church. Since most people didn’t work, it was the one day you could spend hours cooking and gather the whole family while eating celebratory meal together.
The sauce would simmer while the family went to Mass or visited relatives, filling the house with its smell. Lucky for me in my home town of Vico Equense it’s still done today.
I can still remember getting the wooden spoon as I dunk bread in the sauce. Lol
Unfortunately these are memories of the past for many families but it’s never too late to start new traditions of the past.
Full recipe on my YouTube channel for Sunday Sauce and the most delicious braciole and meatballs. #
