Tom's Grandma just tried a few of the pitzzelle you made last night. She was very impressed and said they are equivalent to what her mom made and she felt hers weren't as good! That's a great compliment because her mom could bake anything. And usually baked for a family of 10 children and many grandchildren! I remember the barrel of cookies that were covered with cloth in the basement! It was the biggest thrill to have permission to go to the cool basement and raid some cookies out of the barrel!
They are so good! That’s so kind of you, Kerry! My Pizzelle making technique needs a lot of work, but I appreciate the positive reinforcement. How wonderful is it to have a local Italian market!?!? We just moved from Austin where they didn’t have the most robust Italian American culinary culture so it’s a nice change of pace but I definitely miss the other culinary aspects of Austin that don’t exist here in Northeastern Ohio.
I've posted this and sent it also to some family members. I will read it tonight to mom. This is a lovely tribute. Your petals were as good as any! I am completely enjoying everything I get to sample. Thank you, Olga.

I’m so touched! I might have cried happy tears reading this. So happy grandma enjoyed them ❤️🥹
Once you have one, you just can't stop! Love pizzelle and loved this :)
Thank you, Cassandra! What a special cookie 🙌 can’t wait to share grandma’s recipe and her cool old school electric Pizzelle maker.
So excited for Nonna’s recipe!
She will love that! Thank you for honoring her this way. Everything you bake and cook is the most special gift.
I love pizzelles! We get them from our local Italian market. I loved reading this piece about them and getting hungry over the photos.

I am in Akron, Ohio, and we go to DiVitis in North Hill.
Omg! I’m in Youngstown, we usually go to Jimmy’s in Girard. My two best friends in college were both from Akron! It holds a special place in my heart.

I’m gonna keep practicing! There will be many more Pizzelles in our future. I want to make some for grandma when we visit soon. ❤️
