How to Stuff in Italian

About this ebook
One of six children born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, S. Gary Polozola grew up with an appreciation of his faith, family, and food all wrapped in a Sicilian tradition. In the years before his recent retirement from the practice of Immigration Law, he began researching his ancestry which now numbers over 30,000 relatives back to the 1400s. Along the way, he amassed a large trove of family photographs, documents, and recipes. Reviewing the recipes, he noted that the most common thread was that of dishes that were not only uncomplicated but stuffed something-an eggplant, a noodle, a steak, seafood, and just about anything that could hold a filling, even dessert. So after culling through the hundreds of family recipes, he selected the ones he liked the most, and this cookbook, How to Stuff in Italian, was born.

Foreword
Recipes in this cookbook come from a family of Italians that settled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They were named Glimardo, Lucito, Polozola, and Messina, and a host of others all related, the size of which required the frequent baptismal services of the local parish priest. With large families, a significant amount of time is spent in the kitchen. In the old country, it was common for the men of the family to work the fields and the women the home. Not so much in the new world, at least not in my Sicilian family where all the men could and would help prepare the meals. Because both my parents worked outside the home, my maternal grandmother, Rosa Glimardo Lucito, prepared most of our meals. Mama Rosie, as she was affectionately called, spent her entire life caring for her family, praying to her God, and cooking for whatever army showed up to eat. Without question, my siblings and I were heavily influenced by her example, including in the kitchen. The main aspects, then, that envelop this cookbook are Italian food dishes from both the men and women of my family that include mostly recipes that stuff
something.
