I hope you enjoy discovering traditional Italian recipes with me! Today we are making Fiadoni following the traditional recipe by Zia Angelina.

This year I was lucky to be able to make mine with Angela, an expert baker who knows many traditional recipes. Angela is an incredible cook and she is a precious source of knowledge when it comes to customs and traditions in our village: every time I cook with Angela I learn more about incredible stories, old recipes and ancient flavours, so this year I asked her to let me follow her secret recipe for the traditional Pastiera (which she rigorously cooks in the wood oven).

We are getting ready to celebrate San Giuseppe on March 19th. San Giuseppe is the father of Jesus, so in Italy this day corresponds also to Father’s Day!
Also this year, unfortunately, we will celebrate at home as restaurants are still closed, but this gives me an opportunity to bake at home one of my favorite desserts and to share with you my first recipe. Get ready to make Zeppole with me!

In this Blog we already shared a bit of our story. As you know Laura and her family came back to the US in 2014 and founded Bella Italia here with the mission of bringing the best Italian food anywhere in the world.

Our strong Italian roots are what distinguishes us: the rest of our family, which still lives in Italy, helps us everyday scouting the best artisanal producers and finding new products to add to our offer.
