Merry Christmas, Strega Nona

Strega Nona is busily preparing for her annual feast for the whole town of Calabria. On the day before Christmas, Strega Nona sends Big Anthony to town with a shopping list, which he promptly forgets. For the first time ever, there will be no time for her to prepare anything; Strega Nona will be alone on Christmas. But it’s not to be the townspeople bring their own feast, thanks to Big Anthony’s plans.

How to Make an Italian Thanksgiving Turkey
Even though every Italian I know makes a turkey for Thanksgiving, none of them really long for it in the way Americans do. That’s why last year, I turned our antipasto platter into a turkey.
