About my RecipesNo. 22
Hi my name is Ang Biondo and I love to eat so I’m lucky that I also like to cook…
From the time I was about 4 years old my brothers and I would be in the kitchen with my Grandma DeGeorge, who hardly spoke a word of English, helping her cook while my mother was at work.
From the collection
Three to begin with
A family Easter bread, Grandma DeGeorge’s calamari, and the spring burdock harvest Angelo’s father and grandfather took him on.

The kitchen behind the recipes
Grandma DeGeorge’s “little of this and a little of that”
About Angelo and the recipesMy Grandmother was no exception and calamari was cheap. She used to cook calamari in a variety of ways, and one of my favorites was stuffed, cooked in a tomato base and served over linguine. As I have stated before, she never used a written recipe, she came from the “Little of this and a little of that” school, so once again I’ve done my best to put numbers to the recipe.Contents
