Always From Scratch

Traditional Panzanella Salad is what summer meals should look like: ripe tomatoes, good bread, and nothing wasted. It is simple, practical, and made for the family table. (Recipe in the comments)

If food was the beginning of every conversation growing up, you're in the right place. Here, I'm all about getting people to sit at the table, no matter what you're making.

So follow Vinny DelGiudice | Italian-American Recipes if this sounds like you.

My grandma took measuring by heart seriously. We have like 3 recipes written down. I feel like I'm the guy in the Mafia who sold out and sold the stories to Hollywood 😂

I was never taught how to cook. People just kinda cooked in front of me. And that's what we're doing with our kids. And they decide when they want to help.

But it's important to me that they can pass these recipes on. Because whether it's your family's recipe or someone else's, sharing it means another day of sitting at the table together.

So you want to see how our family did it? Follow Vinny DelGiudice | Italian-American Recipes and I'll show you exactly how I do it. Right or wrong, you might have some of the same traditions.

We didn't do leftovers growing up, but I also try to make food that turns into meal preps that actually taste good (every Monday I share these preps).

If you're looking for actual helpful instructions, with images, troubleshooting tips, and more, then AlwaysFromScratch is the right place to learn.

Low key I rarely make fresh pasta, but the kids love playing with doughs 😂 just a good pic that describes the point I'm trying to make here .

It's not about the food, it's about the people. Ok it's a little about the food.

Traditions don't have to be old to be traditions. Make your own traditions.

Polpette di Melanzane are proof that eggplant can be every bit as comforting as a classic meatball. Serve them with sauce, tuck them into bread, or eat them straight from the platter. (Recipe in the comments)

Is it Sauce or Gravy

A pan of Cast Iron Focaccia never lasts long in our house. The edges get golden and crisp, the middle stays soft, and somebody always tears off a piece before dinner. (Recipe in the comments)

Italian Grilled Eggplant

When the grill is already hot, we make this side. Italian Grilled Eggplant is smoky, tender, and just right with a little balsamic flavor at the end. (Recipe in the comments)

Garlic Anchovy Pasta with Toasted Bread Crumbs is old-school flavor in the best way. It is simple, pantry-friendly, and perfect for a summer night when dinner still needs to feel homemade. Recipe below or comment "recipe" and I'll send it right to your inbox!
