Buon compleanno! You have been important in my kitchen for years. I recently reviewed all of your cookbooks for winter inspiration. Though I love them all, Preserving Italy remains my favorite.

Thank you for your Ciambella cake recipe, I'm looking forwaed to making it.

However, I cant access the other recipes from which you have temporarily taken the paywall.

Congratulations Domenica AND Grazie… for everything you share so beautifully. I adore your newsletter. I love the art,the background and origin of the recipes you share so generously, and your warm, supportive tone. I also have an attraction to challenging myself and enjoy those recipes that require a bit more time. As far as favorites… this winter has been very cold in Maine… and the recipe for your Ragu which I served with the Winter Polenta from Everyday Italian was hands down a winner during the single digit nights. So here’s to another great year! I look forward to making more from your Top Ten list AND not missing the next cocktail party!🤣

What a lovely way to celebrate! Thank you SOO much for sharing all these delightful recipes that showcase the best of Italy and your passion for its cuisine.

As someone else said earlier, no idea when we'll finally manage to try all of them, but we'll certainly start off with the ciambella, so we can celebrate with you 🌟✨⭐️. We'd love to bake the pull-apart focaccia too, but can't seem to access the master dough link, so we'll make the lattaiolo instead.

Congratulations on 2 years and such excellent and well-deserved readership, Domenica! I don’t think there’s a recipe of yours that I read about here that I don’t end up wanting to make, including this cake from your mother. The connection with your family history and Italian cuisine only makes it more meaningful. I’m already looking up how to order some Punch Abruzzo! Thanks again for all you do.

Thank you for this wonderful newsletter, Domenica. It makes me want to live in a house with many more people than two, for everyone to try all the wonderful recipes you give us!

I have loved the recipes from the few classes I took from you, but some of my favorites from this website are "Ragù Abruzzese", "spaghetti a la Claudia Cardinale", "apple and anise loaf cake" (loved by our grandsons!), and "orange salad with radicchio, red onion, and Taggiasca olives". I will soon try the "pull-apart focaccia", and this cake recipe you just gave us!

I am looking forward to "exploring" your cookbooks!
