Rigatoni all'Amatriciana
Amatriciana is one of the four big pastas from Rome. But they Abruzzese will tell you it's from Abruzzo. It's that good that people fight over the rights to claim it. Just a few simple ingredients - guanciale, tomatoes and pecorino cheese plus pasta. The best pastas to use are rigatoni or bucatini. It's simple, but full of flavor and not as hard as carbonara to make.

On the road - Kaplan’s New Model Bakery, Philadelphia

Wonderful old world bakery in Northern Liberties that has survived gentrification. Great bagels, rye bread and more. Located at 3rd and Poplar.
On the road - Reading Terminal Market; DiNic’s Roast Beef + Termini’s Italian Cream Cake
zhlédnutí 18Před 2 hodinami
The Reading Terminal Market is one of the best food markets I’ve ever been to. When I lived in Philly, this is where I shopped, and often stopped for lunch on my way to work (when I worked afternoons/evenings). Now, with the new convention center, and hotels steps away, it’s become a major tourist attraction, but at heart, it’s still a place that locals do their shopping and go for some of the ...
Shrimp Scampi on the Road
zhlédnutí 43Před 4 hodinami
Shrimp Scampi is a fresh and easy dish that’s perfect for summer and easy to make while traveling. I like it with pasta but it’s just as good with a crusty loaf of Italian bread.
On the road: Termini Brother’s Sfogliatelle

Sfogliatella - a delicious Italian pastry from Southern Italy. This is from Termini Brothers bakery in the Reading Terminal.
On the road: Santucci’s Square Pizza
zhlédnutí 12Před 4 hodinami
Appa’s Kitchen on the road reporting from Philly. First stop - Santucci’s pizza because it is right below my Airbnb and they would not let me check in early. Great square pizza.
On the road: Ocean Harbor Dim Sum
zhlédnutí 68Před 4 hodinami
Appa’s kitchen on the road from Philadelphia Chinatown - Ocean Harbor Dim Sum. One of my favorite dim sum places anywhere. They still do it the old style and wheel carts around. Huge selection. Fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. 1023 Race Street - between 11th and 10th - a block from the Convention Center - close to Center City.
Ricotta Pancakes
zhlédnutí 41Před 9 hodinami
Ricotta pancakes are one of my favorite things to have for breakfast, but I save them for when I need something special. I looked at recipes for ideas, and then just came up with my own formula. Use this as a guide. Experiment. You could add a little lemon juice and/or lemon rind to intensify the lemon flavor. Make a fruit compote to top them. Play with it. I think kids will love these, but so ...
Stuffed Zucchini
zhlédnutí 46Před 16 hodinami
I tried something new and improvised as I went along. It turned out great. I made a "bolognese" type sauce with half of the sausage, a half carrot, half onion, some zucchini and a can of whole tomatoes. It was delicious on the zucchini and pasta. Next time, I'd put a little sauce inside the zucchini with the filling. This is an idea. Experiment. Use whatever meat you want (or no meat). Try it a...
Italian Wedding Soup
zhlédnutí 88Před 21 hodinou
My grandmother called it "scuddol" soup, and my mom called it "holiday soup". Italian wedding soup is not served at Italian Weddings. Minestra Maritata is the perfect marriage between meat and greens. In our family, we had escarole (scuddol) and mini meatballs in chicken broth. This was a special dish that we only had on holidays. I never remember having it at any other time of the year. But as...
Cheesesteak
zhlédnutí 23Před dnem
The cheesesteak is one of the great American sandwiches. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a good cheeseteak outside of the Philadelphia/South Jersey area (in my opinion). Well, now you can make your own. Trader Joe's supplies the beef, and hopefully you can find the right rolls or make your own. (Stay tuned for my perfect roll recipe revisited.) I grew up on these, and fortunately, I live far e...
Five Sandwiches
zhlédnutí 36Před 14 dny
I made five different sandwiches for a sunset boat cruise on the San Francisco Bay. 1. Italian antipasto 2. Chicken cutlet with fried long hot 3. Grilled zucchini with mozarella 4. Pesto, tomato and mozarella 5. Eggplant caponata
Sicilian Eggplant Caponata
zhlédnutí 123Před 14 dny
Delicious eggplant caponata from the beautiful island of Sicily. Sweet and sour with so many flavors and textures coming together in harmony. Easy to make, even though it does involve a bit more prep than my other dishes. I like to serve it as an antipasto with some slices of crusty bread. This time I'm going to make some sandwiches for a sunset cruise. Try it. Let me know what you think in the...
AMAZING South Philly Style Roast Pork
zhlédnutí 88Před 14 dny
One of the stars of the Philly sandwich scene. You can make delicious sandwiches with this (if you can find the right rolls - see my roll making video for the recipe), but you can also just eat it on a plate with some sides and a salad. No matter how you slice it, this is an amazing pork roast. Impress your friends. Let me know if you make it.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
zhlédnutí 47Před 14 dny
A classic Roman pasta. Simple ingredients. Simple preparation. Difficult to get it just right. But I think I have finally mastered the technique. Try it and let me know what happens. Use guanciale if you can. If you can't find guanciale, you can use pancetta or bacon (shhhh...don't tell the Italians). I actually really love it with bacon.

Your video shows the skill, creativity and love that goes into every bite.
Beautiful!
I’ve never had it does it taste like Swiss chard?
It's kind of like a slightly bitter broccoli. If you boil is for a minute or two it's not that bitter. It's really nice on a sandwich, but also as a side dish.
That looks amazing
It was really good!
After Googling this (and being schooled by a few Jewish friends) I found out this is indeed Jewish! I don't know why I thought it was Italian. Anyway, the oil makes it Kosher. Live and learn!
My sister asked me about the dressing. She wanted measurements (note: we don't measure things in my family, and she knows that) - for my one salad, I used about two teaspoons of mayo, a squirt of ketchup and maybe a few tablespoons of white vinegar just to thin it out to my liking. I'd say mayo to ketchup 2:1 and vinegar to taste and to how thick/thin you want the dressing. Experiment.
