Yes! My favorite is anything that can be made with things right from the garden. I make an end of the gardening year “summer mash up” soup which is just anything that is left that I don’t know what else to do with. It’s always different and always great. Of non-garden things, my favorite is probably holiday baking. IDK how much anyone outside my family would like anything I make — its all very Sicilian and doesn’t really translate to typical American taste well. The only other place I’ve ever even seen most of the things are in the Sicilian bakery downtown.

Q: Do you take more after your mom’s side or your dad’s side?
