They passed their love of cooking dishes from the old world down to their six children. Their daughter, Rosa, a first generation Italian-American, passed these along to her children. Among them was her only son, Robert Lorenzo, who shares a love for cooking the old recipes, and his name, with his Italian grandfather. Growing up in New York, the family was exposed to new ideas and ingredients that hadn't been available to them before. They followed the Italian tradition of making use of the ingredients around them, and became part of what was to be known as Italian Immigrant cooking. These recipes shaped several generations, and now we proudly present them for your enjoyment!
