What a lovely look at your mother and your family and culinary history. Thanks for sharing it. And that orange polenta pudding cake - man, I'll definitely be taking a stab at it soon!

This article makes me feel both happy and sad. So happy to have her love of family, strong work ethics, and passion for food transcend generationally, but also sad she passed when I was so young that I wasn’t able to experience these things for very long. What I do remember most was how she made me feel. Feelings of love, being well looked after, safe. Her strength, especially in the end, is something I could never forget. She was amazing and we’re all so fortunate to have had such an amazing woman to look up to ❤️

Thanks Arielle! I’d be curious as to what you’d substitute to make this vegan, specifically for the yogurt.

A beautiful tribute to our mother. A woman of many talents with enough energy to run circles around most people. We all have inherited pieces of her, hence she lives on. May her spirit continue to guide us and shed light on our lives.
