Stumbled on your page a few days back! Great stuff Gianni! I'm new to the kitchen, want to touch base with my Italian roots (Caposele in Avellino), and I'm gonna use you as my online teacher! Haha! Thanks for the great work you're doing! Ciao!

Ciao. I hope your kitchen adventures are fun and delicious. Just use the best ingredients and keep it simple. My roots are in Campania too. My mother was born in Mirabella Eclano also near Avellino. Buon appetito!

I'm pleased you agree that this is the way calamari fritti is made in Italia. It's a simple, quick recipe that let's the flavor of the sea shine through. Grazie!

@GianniNorthBeach Yup, but what I meant is this is the way "WE" make them in Italy! Not "the way it is made in Italia." :P I live in Naples, near the sea, everybody here makes all kinds of seafood and I can see you put passion in it. Usually people who want to cook italian food just want to brag about it, you don't. You seem like you want to share our culture and I appreciate it a lot. Thank you very much.
