Oh boy.... I love to cook like your Mom, and Italian is my favorite type of meal (although I am Brazilian). I live in Virginia and I am trying hard to be in TV for the Christmas Season. As a suggestion, do you have how to send her a jar of homemade marmalade? You have store bought, but I have not seen homemade.
I make all from scratch, from Italian bread, pappardelle, fresh linguine with homemade pesto, gnocchi , biscotti, orange and grapefruit (red ruby are the best!) marmalade... And that is what I would be making if I am there... hopefully in a few weeks!
