Great Gifts and Meaningful Ways to Give Them

CosituttiMarketPlace

Artisan Italian

Familiar Yet Unique Christmas in Italy is both familiar and unique. We would recognize the glittering lights, decorations, carols and nativity scenes (presepe). We might recognize Babbo

Natale but probably not Befana, the Christmas witch

who lls the stockings of good little bambini on the Eve of January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany.

Generational holiday recipes bring comfort to the

season. But unique and regional specialties found on

Christmas menus throughout Italy make this an exciting time for trying new and different avors.

This year CosituttiMarketPlace brings familiar yet unique ways to celebrate Christmas with gifts and

meaningful ways to use them, inspired by traditional and new interpretations of regional Italian food and

accompaniments to bring Italy home for the holidays

“There's no better time to live the Italian lifestyle style than during the holidays. The warm and generous hospitality of the Italian people and their appreciation of good food and wine inspire us to bring Italy into our hearts and homes for the holidays. And it really doesn't matter if you're Italian! because there's something about the locality and customs of regional Italian food that we all seem to relate to.”

Christmas Food Memories

Inspire Food Memories The most meaningful gift in this most challenging of years may be a remembrance of things past because these memories bring us together with those when circumstances keep us apart. Now more than ever we’ve come to realize the pivotal place that family, friends and food have in our Christmas celebrations.

One of the best gifts we can give this season is a food memory with inspired ingredients that those we share the holiday with can remember and share again year after year.

Here are a few suggestions to bring comfort and joy to this holiday season with food memories from our taste travels in Italy and round the world.

Eat One of my best eat, drink and relive holiday moments in Italy centers around poultry. In Italy turkey and game birds are considered to be a celebratory dish. I made this recipe for tachino (turkey) with Chef Daniele Sorrento, while cooking with my friend Rita in her restaurant - Ristorante Don Ferdinando in Castell’Arquato near Piacenza in Emilia Romagna.

His take on turkey (tacchino) was brillant. Rather than roast a whole bird he used the turkey breast with ingredients typical of the region (prosciutto, parmigiano and pecorino cheese) to make a stuffed turkey breast that will bring Italy home with a twist on our traditional concept of a holiday turkey. It is a variation of Duchese di Tacchino con

Prosciutto Crudo di Parma e Caciotta Misto Pecora al Vino Passito. Read More . . .

Drink and Be Merry One of my best food memories here in the States is making Tom and Jerry’s for Christmas. It reminds me of family parties on Christmas Eve when my aunts and uncles would bring out the celebratory punch bowl, a milk glass behemoth with matching cups stenciled with green pine trees and a sleigh with the words “Tom and Jerry” written in Old English font.

A Tom and Jerry is a ritual of a drink only made during the holiday season that takes some time and effort. First the batter; made with eggs, powdered sugar and baking

spices (nutmeg, all-spice, cloves ). Then a generous drop of the batter goes into the designated mug, add a shot of dark rum, a shot of brandy and top it off with boiling water. Stir, but gently, as to not disturb the foamy froth. Finish with fresh grated nutmeg on top.

Because of my age at the time I never got beyond the foamy, frothy, milk punch but later enjoyed a Tom and Jerry mug and the Italian Bombardino made with Italian

zabaglione, brandy and whipped cream.
