Hi everyone,

My girlfriend’s biggest dream is to learn traditional Italian cooking directly from an Italian nonna. She just came home from Erasmus in Rome and loved it there (Thanks to this I was in Italy three times already this year). She has a special place for Italy in her heart. She has also learned to speak italian (we are Czech) which I really admire.

Since I can't realistically fly a traditional grandmother over to our kitchen right now, I want to give her the next best thing for her upcoming gift: real, authentic family recipes with a story.

I know that family recipe notebooks are precious family heirlooms. I am not necessarily asking anyone to part with their irreplaceable physical treasures, but if anyone has any authentic recipe book or handwritten notes orvsomething similar and would be okay with parting with it, I would be very glad and I could reward you.

Even if you had just one paper with a handwritten recipe, I would appreciate it.

The older the better:D

Or if you know about any way/place to get what I am looking for, please feel free to tell me as well.

I appreciate you very much.

I know the bread can be improved. More AB tests soon haha!

So. Homemade pasta sauce. Ive tried a bunch of websites. AI. Does anyone know of any good resources that are closer to you would get in Rome?

I’ve travelled there. And i cant seem to get the same flavor profiles back here in the US. Im thinking its just the quality of ingredients we have here….

Edit: looking for Marinara and pomorodo recipes
