This month, I feature a wonderful recipe from Amalfi, Italy, called Babàs al Limoncello Pansa. This recipe is from the famed family-owned, fifth-generation Pasticceria Pansa, and I couldn’t get over how light and lemony their babàs were.

I begged chef and Italian television personality, Velia de Angelis, for the recipe, and she generously obliged. With a light lemon crema and soaked in a limoncello liqueur syrup, the babàs will maintain their moistness for several months, making them perfect to enjoy whenever you’re ready.

The Waldorf Salad was created in the 1890s at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. Maitre d’, Oscar Tschirky, was the mind behind the salad. While he published the original in his 900-page cookbook, this is my variation on the Waldorf Salad, substituting some ingredients out to make it lighter.

Turkish Semolina Sponge Cookies, or ŠekerpareI, are delicious, soft and syrupy semolina sponge cookies accented with hazelnuts and pistachios. Šekerpare translates to “sugary pieces,” an apt description.

I learned how to make these at a relaxed day-long cooking class in Istanbul. If you’re planning a trip to this magnificent city, I recommend taking a class from Cooking a la Turka.

Join me on my upcoming tour, Culinary Adventures in Puglia, Italy! Puglia is a less well-known area of Italy at the heel of the boot, though in recent years it has been discovered by more travelers. This is a fertile land, perfect for olive groves and semolina fields. We will stay in elegant Baroque buildings and taste high-quality, freshly caught fish and seafood. Puglia is full of cultural sights which we will visit while we’re not cooking in the kitchens of talented Italian chefs.

It is a Jewish tradition to eat fried foods on Chanukah to commemorate the miracle of the oil lamps in the reconsecrated Second Temple that burned for eight days. The nostalgic aroma of potato latkes frying in oil is a warm bath in the best memories of the holiday of Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. My grandfather would make latkes for all six of his kids and their families when we all gathered for Chanukah. Needless to say, we ate a lot of latkes.

The word latke comes from the Yiddish by way of an East Slavic word oladya for a small fried pancake and ultimately from an Ancient Greek word for olive oil. These days, cooks make latkes from ingredients like zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes, celery root, and winter squash and may fry them in olive oil or a mixture of oils like I do.

Aquacotta, or “cooked water,” is a classic Tuscan soup from the Maremma region, once a humble, one-pot meal for shepherds and charcoal makers. This soup, thickened with stale bread, was traditionally made with simple ingredients such as water, onion, tomato, olive oil, and whatever vegetables were on hand. Today, it is made with fresh market veggies, poached eggs, and Pecorino cheese all of which I like to purchase from the Farmer’s Market.

Maremma, the site of my first-ever culinary/cultural tour, is a unique and beautiful agritourism destination with Etruscan ruins, natural hot springs, and famous wines. Use this link, https://conta.cc/4hErFm7 to try this recipe at home and let me know what you think.
