Your recipes are just what my mom made, she was from Ischia. I am now 83yrs old and I still cook and love it

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so so much ! From my hometown of Vico Equense you can see Ischia. Been there many times and love it 💕

[@lilycohan5791]

I have said this before about this woman, she is one of the best Italian cooks, being from Brooklyn I know good food, she does it right and loves what she does, I appreciate your recipes I am also from downtown Brooklyn been removed to California in 85, Had a hard time adjusting so I didn’t and I just made the food that I grew up with, wondering if you were from the same neighborhood LOL

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Hi Frank, Thank you so much for the wonderful complement. Most of my recipes is what I learned from my mom, grandmother and my aunts that live in Italy. I too was born in Vico Equense it Naples. It’s a coastal town between Pompeii and Sorrento. I started to Cooking Channel to pass on the recipes to my daughters. Super happy to say that it has gone a little further. Thank you for watching my videos. I recently was in California and every time we passed a lemon tree I would scream in the light. It reminds me so much of my hometown. God bless you and merry Christmas to you and loved ones. Let’s keep cooking together.🎄🪅🎅🏼

Sometime, I leave the potatoes mashed and open overnight. I find the dryer the better. Great Job!

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much! Last week I did exactly that because I had no time so I left the potatoes out for at least 6 hours. Best potatoes croquettes I’ve ever made. You’re so right! Thank you for the tip.

You cook just like my aunt who is from Naples and all your food has brought back memories of eating her food, I’m definitely going to make a lot of your recipes, do you make Pasta e Patate? I see you have pasta e pisele, I’m so excited to re-create my aunts dishes through you. I have the Sopranos Cookbook And there is a recipe in there which is almost exactly like my aunts.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much Sally! Oh wow you’re a Napoletana Doc when you mentioned pasta e patate. These are all meals that I grew up with. I will do a video recipe on it real soon. I need to take a look at the Soprano cookbook. Do you travel to Naples often? 🥰🇮🇹🙏🏻 Be safe and God bless

@@lovemycat61 I read your message in one breath. I am so happy that you were able to experience Italy. The food is just incredible there. I was born in Vico Equense, a coastal town between Pompeii And Sorrento. Came to America in 1975 and I was 10 years old. I hope you get to go soon when this craziness is over. Do spring or fall because they’re the best seasons. Because of my youngest daughter’s school we go in August and sometimes it’s just crazy with tourist and very hot. Hope to be doing some videos from there. Thank you always for watching. 🥰🙏🏻🇮🇹

@@alessandrasfoodislove Can I please ask you one question since you use so much fresh basil and grow your own, I just bought an organic small basil plant I live alone so I don’t use it every day can you tell me how to keep it alive and hopefully fresh, I googled and it said to water it like once a week is that correct? Thanks so much for your reply I truly appreciate it.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

@@lovemycat61 hi Sally, That’s a great question because I had many plants die. Move the plant to a larger pot and add organic soil. Place in a sunny window and water once a week. I use terracotta pots, they’re inexpensive and better than plastic because they’re breathable. Hope this info helps. 🥰
