Food

Nonna Gilda

It all started with finding her scribbled hand written recipes in the attic. This let me to recreating every one of her recipes. Nonna was with us for 97 years and was tasting and commenting on the recipes as long as she was with us. 

This lead to the Food Blog on Facebook and eventually let me to the Food Network’s – Cooks vs. Cons S1E11 “Candy Clash” and the opening of our family Pizzeria – “Mattei Family Pizza.”
