      About the Authors

      The holidays bring some of the fondest memories of my childhood to mind. Having grown up in an Italian and Polish family, many of those memories revolve around food. Family get-togethers meant lots of laughter and tables overflowing with both sweet and savory delights. I grew up in a family where both pasta and sauce were always made from scratch, and where there was always some sort of sweet treat in the freezer just in case someone dropped by. After dinner, coffee was almost always served, and it was always accompanied by some sort of dessert. As a matter of fact, if you stop by my aunt and uncle’s house, it’s still done that way. I remember another aunt always setting aside part of the cream puff filling and adding butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips because my grandfather couldn’t have chocolate. I remember my mom making a special trip to a store that felt like it was on the other side of town (I was about 4 years old) to get her first pizzelle iron. That pizzelle iron lasted through four interstate moves and more than twenty-five years. Pizzelles were a special treat that was only made at Christmas or Easter. The smell of anise can take me to those memories instantly. Mom’s cheesecake was also a special treat, especially when she would use chocolate or strawberry cream cheese (which required a trip to a specialty store instead of the dairy department back then). With its sour cream topping, the first cut could be a bit of a surprise to see which flavor it was. My other grandmother made the best apple slices in the world. Last year, I made her recipe for the first time. It had been at least 15 years since I’d had my grandmothers apple slices. The wave of memories with that first bite took me back to her kitchen in the quaint Chicago suburb designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I can still see her collection of refrigerator magnets that were stuck to the steel-backed tile that lined the wall behind
