Ciao Bella

Ciao! Hello!

My name is Zia Maria, and I've been cooking all my life. I grew up in a traditional Italian home; Mia Familia, my Family, taught me to cook at a very early age, with recipes that date back hundreds of years - my Grandmother's alone are 175 years old!

I started this blog to share with you my families recipies, mainly my favorites: The sweet ones. Throughout the years, I've compiled a big list of my sweet treasures: allow me to share them with you! A majority of these recipies have cultural, religious, or family histories tied with them - so I know you'll enjoy making them as much as you'll enjoy experiencing the stories behind them.

As always, I love to hear feedback from my friends and family about my cooking; if you have any questions, comments, or requests on a recipe that you'd like to see, feel free to drop me a line at ziamaria08@gmail.com .

Thank you for reading - now let's get cooking!
