🌸 A Tribute to Nonna Gianna: The Inspiration Behind Chef Pasqualina 🌸

Behind every great chef is a source of inspiration, and for Chef Pasqualina, it all begins with her beloved mother, Nonna Gianna. Her journey into the culinary world started with Nonna Gianna's influence and passion for baking. When they moved to the United States, Nonna Gianna's first job was in a bakery, where she showcased her remarkable skills not only as a cook but also as an extraordinary baker.

Those fortunate enough to taste her creations can attest to their incredible deliciousness. These little gems, lovingly referred to as 'Nonna Gianna's cookies,' quickly became a beloved treat among family and friends. The joy they brought, particularly to the little ones like our great nephews and nieces, was immeasurable.

Inspired by the legacy of Nonna Gianna, Chef Pasqualina embarked on a journey to share their family's traditional recipes in a gluten-free way. The result is the cookbook series called 'Pasqualina's Table,' where they convert cherished classics into gluten-free alternatives. Their first book, 'Pasqualina's Table, Our Italian Family Traditions… The Gluten-Free Way,' has already touched the hearts and kitchens of many. And now, they are hard at work on the second book, focusing on delectable desserts, followed by a third book dedicated to pastas and sauces.

Join us in celebrating the legacy of Nonna Gianna and Chef Pasqualina's dedication to preserving Italian family traditions, reimagined with gluten-free goodness. Stay tuned for the upcoming releases and prepare to embark on a culinary adventure like no other!

Well, like most of us, I’m putting on a smile every day and struggling through this. Leading through crisis and uncertainty in my day job, keeping my family happy, healthy, and sane, homeschooling, caring for friends who are so much harder hit by this than I can imagine. Today was not a good day. I said it. I hope there will be good days in this, like all of us, but today was not one of them. So I made risotto. Adapted from the Williams-Sonoma recipe for risotto with pancetta and winter greens, I made it #ketofriendly with a swap of cauliflower rice. Used half the broth, but double the flavor thanks to a switch to mushroom stock I had made in the freezer. Absolutely delicious and on the isolation meal plan. #stickingtoplan #isolationcooking #inspiredcooking #creativecooking #quarantinecooking #ketomeals @williamssonoma #risotto #cauliflowerrice (at Maplewood, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LVrVuHcxl/?igshid=dk39ibmeb398

A sandwich is something which can be diversified into such beautiful looking food that it gets hard to resist the temptation of picking it up from the platter and taking a considerable bite. Sandwiches are healthy, nutritious, can be used on various occasions, can be carried around while walking, can be eaten during driving a car (not that i’m suggesting in anyway that you do just that), are perfect for picnics, traveling, lunch boxes, lavish high tea parties and what not! We all LOVE sandwiches. While there are so many different ways of making an awesome sandwich, so many different kinds of breads and buns to choose from..today we bring you a recipe from one of our food experts Anum Sohail, who knows just how to bring out the right flavours in her gorgeous, well kept kitchen. So without further adieu, let me give you her mouth watering recipe. Men, if you want to give your women a day off from cooking, you should definitely try this and surprise her this women’s day!

Prep the Chicken, you will need:  Chicken 1 kg boneless Garlic cloves 5 or 6 Chinese salt 1/2 tsp Chilli flakes 1/2 tsp Chilli Sauce 1 tsp White Vinegar 2 tsp White pepper 1/4 tsp Oregano 1 tsp

Now move onto a nice tantalizing sauce, here is what you’ll need: Egg 1 Garlic Clove 1 Green Chilli 1 Sugar 1/4 tsp Chinese Salt 1/4 tsp Black pepper 1/4 tsp White vinegar 1 and 1/2 tsp Oil 1 cup

Dressing: Cheddar cheese Ice berg Cucumber thinly sliced Green olives

Method:  Sotey garlic cloves in oil and add chicken. Fry a little and add chinese salt, black pepper, chilli sauce, white vinegar,white pepper,chilli flakes and cook well. Once chicken feels nice and tender, add oregano, stir and leave aside. Moving onto sauce, in a blender add egg, green chilli, vinegar, chinese salt, black pepper, sugar, garlic clove and blend well. Now very slowly start adding oil into it and let it blend till it thickens. Turn off the blender, set aside.

Take a pan and lightly grease with butter, put the bread slices (you can choose your own type of bread), on the pan till you get a very light golden colour. Now your bread is ready for the rest of the ingredients and filling. Put a generous amount of your prepared sauce, chicken and cheddar cheese on the slices. Add a layer of cucumber, olives and iceberg salad leaves and TA-Da! Your sandwiches are ready! While you are busy making sandwiches, make sure you get your french fries in the fryer to complete the fun of eating sandwiches.

Enjoy!
