Destination: Gulf Coast

Do you know someone in or around the beaches of Louisiana and Alabama? Do they have old-school family recipes? Send’em our way. In fact, the smaller the town the more interested we are in them!

We’ll be in and around the Gulf Coast from October 7th through 23rd (roughly — we’re easily swayed by juke joints, gumbo and cold, cold beer).

Monday Night Family Dinner with The Viglieccas

Every other Monday Night, My large Italian Clan comes together for dinner. It’s almost always held at my grandparents house in Aptos. This gnocchi dinner, this last Monday was held at my Aunt and Uncle’s house in Los Gatos. There were five dough makers, rollers and air dryers. One gravy maker. Two salad makers and several little italian elves who helped set the table.

Stay tuned for recipes and wisdom galore from my grandfather, Roy Vigliecca. My grandmother Beverly Vigliecca and my great-cousin Carolyn Tognetti along with my Aunt Linda West helped round out the luaghs, advice and family loving time.

A big huge kiss to each and every person who came together to help prepare a very special meal.
