My grandfather, whom we call Papi, is the best chef I know. He can spin a pizza in the kitchen like the carousel at the park. His red sauce rivals Alfredo Linguini’s in Disney’s Ratatouille with just the right amount of sweet and savory. His recipe box is a treasure chest full of family recipes passed down from generation to generation. Papi creates each entree with as much care as an artist creates a masterpiece by adding exotic spices and fresh farm-to-table ingredients. Everything tastes better if it’s made by Papi, for everything he makes is made with love.
