    I am crying right now. My Dad always made our Sunday sauce, lol, but my grandmother's was better. I didn't live near her to get instructions and have been trying every sauce recipe from Italian Americans I could find online. I knew something was missing since my sauce was not sweet. Didn't want to add sugar. I think wine ruins it. Your baking soda tip is the answer I have been looking for 50 years. Thank you so much for documenting our heritage. I will pass this to my children and grandchildren. Will try biscotti next. The spicy one is similar to one I make without oil which makes it unpredictable.

      Hi Val
      I am so happy my recipe was able to help you recreate that sauce you were looking for.
      You will definitely love the biscotti video , my mother really gives the step by step to help make the perfect biscotti ..
      This weekend my mother and I are shooting pignoli cookies , pasta Primavera , and Sun dried tomato pesto episodes. 😊

    I use a box grater to shred the almond paste. It makes it much easier and faster to mix together

    I've always wondered what those cookies were. I married into an Italian family back in the day but I guess they weren't into these cookies because I never saw them during the huge holiday spreads. They're beautiful. Happy Holidays.
    Loving that gorgeous kitchen too.

    thanks for giving me a better way to spread the dough into the pans, I was taught differently, but your skills far outweigh the master chef I learned from. thank you. my mom isn';t a big apricot fan, I am but she isn't, so I use Raspberry and Blackberry Seedless Jams with my cookies. thanks again and Have a Great Thanksgiving and Christmas to come!

    How do you access the description bar for the ingredients? And do I print out the transcripts to read the step by step instructions?

    • @livelaughandcookitalian
      @livelaughandcookitalian  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is an arrow on the bottom right that will pull down the video description box where all the ingredients are listed ... the step by step instructions are visually in the video ... it’s made for you to follow along with my mother and I ... just pause when you need to .... or you might be able to print a transcript ... I never tried .... I can right the steps down for you if it doesn’t work
