ABOUT

Ever since I was a little girl I have been standing next to my grandmother helping her cook the family meals.  Born in Italy, she was the typical Italian grandmother who "loved us with food." No one ever left her house hungry and every time the family got together, even if it wasn't a special occasion, we would have a feast!  My early upbringing made me a life long food lover and just like my Italian grandmother, I love feeding my family and friends. 

I love reading history books and shopping for all things vintage.  Cooking Up Bites of History combines my two loves - food and history.  Nothing makes me happier than spending a day browsing through cookbooks from the 19th and early 20th centuries.  Recreating recipes and meals from our ancestors is a hands-on way of experiencing the past.
