I have a LOT of cooking videos on youtube...if you would like to see them ... click on "VIDEOS" LINK In the top bar on this page.
I love to cook ... I was taught by the best...the Medaglia girls!
My mother called these "dried peppers" ..the real Italian name is Pepperoni Chrushchi. ...well something like that. A Calabrian dish where you get these special peppers ... in the US they are called " Jimmy Nardello peppers" named after the italian gent who first brought the seeds to America ... you hang them and dry them ..then "flash fry" them in hot olive oil, salt them and enjoy!
Making Easter Pizza with my cousin Paul Valeriano. Paul is a fantastic cook and makes these things every year ..they are a real pain to make and his taste exactly like the ones my mom used to make.
Brisket is my specialty. I have trophies as tall as I am for cooking brisket ...me and my team had it DOWN!
I traveled to San Francisco to attend the pizza cooking classes put on by one of the greatest pizza makers in the world, Tony Gemigniani. This is the pan pizza using his technigue. the dough is stretched into the pay using a LOT of olive oil as lubricant ..the par-baked for a couple of minutes , then dressed , then baked to perfection.
when my aunts Millie Pandolfi and Rosie Santerelli were the cooks in the kitchen of the local italian club...they called this "white pizza " .. Tony Gemignia informed me that it's just foccacia ..anyway ..same dough as the pizza on the left but with olive oil, garlic salt and dried rosemary on top. then baked to golden brown.
Around 2014 I started in the competition barbecue arena. ... supporting my business Tasty Licks BBQ store. We did pretty good ..this was our best .. ."Reserve Grand Champion" ..which is second place ...but a real accomplishment.
