Welcome to Our Home
Our story is one of family and food, of love and traditions, of time spent together, gathered around the kitchen table, the metaphorical heart of our home.
Our Great Grandparents ventured forth from the sun-kissed lands of Italy and Sicily to build a new life in Brooklyn, NY. They brought with them hearts filled with the warmth of a culture steeped in ancient traditions, tantalizing food, and an unwavering devotion to family bonds. They planted deep roots in their new land while continuing to nurture these most cherished aspects of their heritage, building in their houses a haven for the generations to come.

Our Grandparents, nurtured within the cozy confines of these treasured homes, in time found love and formed their own families. Throughout the years, the family grew yet remained close-knit, gathering regularly to revel in the shared joys of life, laughter, and familial connections. These enduring traditions, etched deep into the fabric of our lineage, carry through today as an integral part of our own identities.
Our mother, Angela, was raised immersed in the embrace of this culturally rich tapestry and imparted the same values to us. She built a home where the family gathered regularly around the kitchen table, joining together for everything from daily meals to celebrating significant milestones such as birthdays or weddings.
Hospitality was a hallmark of our home. Friends and strangers alike were welcomed with open arms and a warm invitation to partake in a meal, the centerpiece of a heartwarming gathering. Holidays were an affair to remember, where the extended family would converge, sharing in the timeless traditions handed down through generations, and spending countless hours celebrating and enjoying culinary delights. Anyone alone for a holiday was family to us and always invited without question. When illness struck, our response was to deliver a nourishing meal, a tangible expression of our care and solidarity.

As the sands of time gradually shifted, we bid farewell to many beloved ancestors. Yet, their spirits persist in the enduring lessons and precious memories they bestowed upon us. Our story is one of continuity, rooted in the timeless essence of what we learned around Angela’s kitchen table.
It is in this tradition that our story continues. Angela’s Kitchen Table is a tribute to all that we are and all that they were. The recipes preserved within these pages harken back to the flavors and aromas that filled our ancestors’ kitchens. In sharing these recipes, we honor their culinary legacy, ensuring it endures for generations yet to come. Beyond the recipes, this is an invitation to partake in our family’s vibrant history through the stories we may tell of generations past, the trials and triumphs and the everyday that have shaped each one of us.
Above all, Angela’s Kitchen Table remains a place of celebration. Every joy, every achievement, and every moment of gratitude shall find its place around this hallowed table. We revel in the present while drawing strength from the past, for it is around this table that the echoes of our ancestors’ laughter resonate still.
Now come with us. Let’s go into the kitchen.
