In this episode, we interview Domenica Marchetti on one of the oldest Italian traditions, preserving food. Many Italians and early Italian Americans needed to preserve food to survive, and in this episode Domenica discusses both the importance of preserving food and flavors and the mechanics of how to do it the right way.
Our Italian-American Story Segment features a conversation between Dolores and her mother, talking about cooking in Italy compared to cooking Italian in America, and how homemade food keeps a family together. Mamma Alfieri also gives listeners some good old-fashioned straight-talk on why you should not be lazy and learn how to cook!
