Which food reminds you of your childhood and your

Which food reminds you of your childhood and your nonna/ grandma or someone that loved you unconditionally?
For me definitely PASTINA
Pastina reminds me my Nonna Irma so much.
She used to make it with so much love and call us with her sweet voice ❤️
Pastina in Italy has magic power and I think its the unconditional love of the Italian Nonna and Mom for the kids.
When I tell my mom that my kids are sick she say right away “ Fagli la pastina” ( make him the pastina)
My Nonna’s pastina is still in my mind now that I m almost 50 😂 and still a favourite comfort food when Im sick.
Same for my kids, when they are sick or under the weather pastina is what they want. Check my story to see how I made it with the homemade broth today.
It was a fun cooking Sunday ❤️
Thank you, you are amazing 🤩

Happy Sunday it was an Intense week in this househ

Happy Sunday it was an Intense week in this household. My son got injured the day before Easter so it was an Easter to remember 😂 ( he broke his right wrist).
He was home from school few days so he got to come with me to drop off some cookbooks #cookingwithmammamarzia at @indigo.
He was so proud and excited like I was.
He literally told me -“you are the best cookbook writer mommy” after he was looking at the cookbooks on the shelfs 😂
It is such a great satisfaction to show your kids pursuits your dream at any costs.
Maybe it won’t mean anything or maybe they will have a memory of their mom starting a business without any business knowledge, absolutely no money, a broken English and being able to inspire hundreds people to cook Italian Cuisine and writing a cookbook in the middle of a Pandemic.
Happy Sunday, you are Amazing 🤩

🇮🇹Recipe of pistachio Tiramisu without eggs

🇮🇹Recipe of pistachio Tiramisu without eggs for you 🇮🇹
If you have my cookbook you know that I make Tiramisù without eggs, this recipe is pretty similar and easy.

I made this amazing Tiramisu for Easter dinner because I had some pistachio cream to consume. This is now my husband favourite dessert ( he is a pistachio lover).
I used pistachio cream from @cioffismeatmarket in Burnaby.
If you are a pistachio lover this dessert will make you dream ❤️
I will post a little video later on my Instastory.
Ingredients:
🇮🇹200 g pistachio cream ( amount of a glass jar)
🇮🇹250 g mascarpone cheese
🇮🇹200 ml whipping cream
🇮🇹Half cup of espresso coffe with a splash of Sambuca or any liquor
🇮🇹2 tsp sugar for coffe
🇮🇹package of Savoiardi cookies good quality
🇮🇹2 tbsp grated white chocolate
🇮🇹 2 tbsp crushed pistachio for decoration
🇮🇹 a sprinkle of love

Prepare the cream: put the mascarpone and whipping cream in a bowl. Beat until smooth. Add the pistachio cream, mix again until you will have a gorgeous green cream. Put it in the fridge.
Make the espresso, put it in a deep dish and add Sambuca or grappa or whatever liquor. If you can’t use liquor add a splash of milk or simply nothing.
Get a dish to put the tiramisu’ and start to put everything together.
Deep the cookies in warm coffee for few seconds ( I usually count to 4 while I deep the cooky in each side) and put them in the plate close to each other
I made 2 layers using 10 savoiardi for layer. You could do 3 layers with the amount of cream.
After the first layer of cookies spread the cream and sprinkle some white chocolate.
Make the second layer with cookies and cover it with the pistachio cream and some crushed pistachio. Put it in fridge for al least 1 hour
Buon Appetito and if you make it don’t forget to

Noodle 101 with Mamma Marzia: TAGLIATELLE One of

Noodle 101 with Mamma Marzia: TAGLIATELLE

One of the popular types of pasta, it comes in long, flat, ribbon-like strips, and is historically from the Marche and Emilia-Romagna regions of Italy. It is very easy to make with the help of a good pasta maker. It is commonly served with pork or beef, as well as ragu alla bolognese sauce.

Tagliatelle is a family favourite especially for my son. I always make it fresh because they stick to the sauce beautifully.

Visit the link in my bio for details on my cookbook filled with all of my family's favourite Italian recipes.

What is your favourite way to eat tagliatelle? 🍝

Pompei pictures from our trip to Italy in 2006.
Swipe for more.
Pompei is a must see if you travel to Campania.
This picture, a person sitting and praying, is still on my mind after so many years. I think she is praying and thinking that the lava just stopped that moment and made it visible to millions after so many years is pretty magical.
The all scenario there is unreal and so unique and its definitely one of my favourite place that I visited ❤️🇮🇹
I can’t wait to go back to Italy and visit more and spend more time in Pompei with a newborn 😂
When we went my daughter was 6 months old and it was difficult to enjoy it 😂
Have you been to Pompei?

Happy Easter weekend friends! Italians celebrate

Happy Easter weekend friends!

Italians celebrate Easter with (what else?) food! My Easter menu starts with lamb, roast and lasagna.

I am curious - what are your family's Easter traditions and what is on your Easter dinner menu? 🐰

Picture of lifestyle in Italy:
Nonno/ grandpa reading the daily newspaper while the grandkid was playing on his shoulder.
Also did you spot the nonna with the typical Italian Nonna apron looking to the grandkids with so much happiness?
My father in law also was reading the newspaper and enjoying the sun
We can’t forget the car that is in the picture the famous 500. Did you ever drive that car? Its so much fun And it so tiny
Happy Throwback Thursday 🥰🇮🇹🙏

I am often asked what my "must haves" are when it comes to my kitchen.

I don't use Italian seasoning or dry herbs. Fresh herbs are my absolute favourite because they give food an amazing aroma.

You can either grow these herbs yourself or buy them at your local farmer's market:
▪️ Basil
▪️ Parsley
▪️ Sage
▪️ Rosemary
▪️ Thyme

What is your favourite herb to use when cooking? 🌿
