I have a similar relationship with my grandmother. She fled Cuba as a young woman and I’ve grown up watching her cook elaborate meals every week. Now that she’s getting older our time is even more precious and I’m trying desperately to grab all of her “no-recipe” recipes. So glad you’re getting to carry on this tradition.
Thank you so much for sharing this risotto recipe. I have such amazing memories cooking with my grandma in her kitchen. Every time I smell parsley or cook with ricotta I think of her <3 this reminded me to give her a call <3
Maddy, this story brought tears to my eyes. It made me think about my Nana and how she taught me to bake.. I miss her presence so much! Thank you for sharing this with us. What a dream to be able to have her pot and those beautiful earrings! x
This is such a sweet story and had me crying at my desk at 2pm on a Monday! I am glad that you have a dish now that holds such a sweet memories and will keep her legacy alive. She sounds like an amazing and inspirational woman.
Also as an empty nester with an original Soho loft and a big open kitchen, I love seeing young creatives like you keeping NYC interesting. If you ever need a space to film or create content, you’re welcome to use mine - no strings attached!
I have seen these videos on social media! I was like “I recognize that sauce pot!” Your nonna sounds like such an amazing woman, and I love that y’all share this special bond over cooking. I am totally going to try that lemon risotto !!
