My grandmother was born and raised in Rome, matter of fact was raised by nun's in a convent after her mother when she very young. That is where she learned how to become a great cook. She always served the salad as the last course. Everything was made from scratch, homemade macaroni, pesto, breads, desserts, wine, even the chicken from the backyard coop :-) I fondly remember spending Sat. helping her make the spaghetti and hanging it on her clothes rack in the kitchen for the big Sunday meal w/all my aunts,uncles and cousins. :-)
