Watch how this viral mother-daughter duo keeps their Italian heirloom recipes alive
Cooking is a family affair for Pina and Rosemarie of Pina’s Kitchen (pinaskitchen__). In this episode of ITK: Family Style, the mother-daughter duo head to the kitchen to create a century-old recipe for stuffed eggplant. They explain that their recipe hasn’t been adapted from its original version because it’s perfect exactly as it is – which is why it has become a tradition.
“The recipe that we’re making today is original,” Pina says.” From the cheese to the garlic, the onions, the way the sauce is made, everything is traditional.”
“I think there are certain dishes that you don’t change,” Rosemarie agrees.
So, the two step into the kitchen to demonstrate why some dishes have become a tradition.
