Long before my mother passed, I would visit her and Dad in their suburban New Jersey home, and we would watch Mary Ann Esposito’s show, Ciao Italia, on their local PBS station. While I learned Mary Ann’s dishes and techniques on TV, my mother passed on her own recipes and hands-on lessons in her humble New Jersey kitchen, in the same way her mother had taught her.
Mom showed me how to make soups first, then stews, then we moved on to more complex recipes, like light, fluffy gnocchi (I still remember how quickly her arthritic fingers tossed those gnocchi from the ends of a fork). While Mom taught me our own ricette di famiglia Finzi, Mary Ann helped me perfect techniques to become a pretty decent, all-around Italian home cook.
