Comments on: Maria Pellicci’s Christmas Ravioli https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/06/maria-pelliccis-christmas-ravioli-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 06 Dec 2021 13:07:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/06/maria-pelliccis-christmas-ravioli-o/#comment-1440040 Mon, 06 Dec 2021 13:07:55 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=189815#comment-1440040 Here in a very gloomy Hudson River Valley, I haven’t even had my morning coffee. And yet I’m longing for kitchen aromas, a crusty roll and a glass of hearty red wine. I’m toasting the Pellicci family from here. Salut!

I love hearing about other people’s holiday traditions — whether menus, or decorations, or
other “once a year” fixings.

Alas, our usual tall ornament-encrusted tree will not be happening this year — We have welcomed two new kittens into our family, and their whirlwind energy and antics would NOT be compatible with our array of special ornaments. But, a smaller tree full of lights will do!

They are so cheerful it’s infectious, always smiling and saying “Grüezi” (hello) as they pass by. I had a holiday in the Italian part of Switzerland recently and loved it, so pretty and welcoming. And how I’m missing Scotland during these Covid times for Italian fish and chips from Rinaldi’s!

And Maria Pellicci’s Christmas Ravioli will certainly confirm that!

I wish you a wonderful Advent season.

Love & Peace

Those were the days! Seriously, though, my favourite cafe bar none. Everything about it is proper. I just wish for the day that I can come back to visit family and pop round to Pellicci’s.

It’s an Italian home from home.
