hello; hope you are SAFE
in the following
TESTO (THE GRIDDLE PAN USED FOR MAKING NECCI)
what is the overall length (cm) and diameter of the circle (cm) thank you
Hello,
Thanks for your message. The testo is 21/22 cm in circumference. The handle is relatively long, about 40 cm? I hope this helps. Stay safe and enjoy cooking!
Very interested in making SUSUMELLE cookies, but I want to recheck the amount of baking powder. Is it 16 grams? Is 16 grams the equivalent of 3.2 tsp per a chart I saw online? The cookies look wonderful, and as my family is from Calabria, I would really like to make these. THANKS in advance.
Thank you for contacting me. Yes 16 grams is roughly 1 level tablespoon (15 grams) plus 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams). I hope that helps. They are delicious biscuits and we very much love Calabria, particularly Tropea. Enjoy!
Hello,
I love so much your website. I am french and i would like to share your recepies on my blog “https://simplementmoi.net”. It is mainly about healthcare but it would be an honor to speak about food too.
I have seen your ” CREATIVE COMMONS NODERIVS 3.0 ” but my readers are french, if you agree i would like to make an exception and share parts of your website with french translation.
Can i ask you if i can translate your articles in french before sharing them please ? ( of course i will put a link to your website at the end of each article).
Thanks in advance for your answer
Best regards
Maelys
Ms. Woo (or is it Ms.Weiduan?):
We have come full circle in the opposite direction.
I was born in Calabria and was just short of 2 years old when we moved to Montreal, Canada.
I have always spoken Italian and still do (not Calabrese) to both my sons now 35 and 32 respectively.
The 32-year-old has been living in China for 7 years now, first in Beijing and now in Suzhou with his Chinese girlfriend and 8-month-old daughter, my granddaughter. In China, western names are not registered, so her name is Wu Luxi. My son tells me that in Canada she will be registered as Lucy Romano. Wu and Woo sound the same. My sons and their children are also Italian citizens through me. So Wu Luxi is also officially Italian.
I love your website, your philosophy of food and life and your dedication to Italy and its food.
BTW, for my money, the best place to eat in Italy is my native Cosenza. Try it out. I have been all over Italy, except Sicily & Sardinia. You’ll love the beach in Amantea (if you love Tropea) and the skiing in La Sila, not to mention the caciocavallo.
Have you ever eaten true Calabrese soppressata made in the country by Calabrian farmers? It’s heavenly and, as good as some commercial products may be (La Golosina comes to mind), nothing beats the true peasant version of calabrese salami.
Thanks for this pleasant passage through your website.

Hi my name is Rosa and I am looking for this skewer that we used in the 50s when my mom from Sicily would roll out homemade macaroni with a very thin rod called “boozy” in Sicily.
I see those in the photo do you know where I can purchase them? Thanks
