Food Brings People Together On Many Different

These Days It's Cool To Be Ethnic And To Be Different, But When I Was A Kid, It Was Not Cool - At All. My Friends Would Come Over And My Mom Would Make Crepes With Eggs, Stuffed With Mozzarella Cheese, Tomatoes And Spinach. And They'd Be Like, 'what Is This?'

I Made Lemon Spaghetti In An Early Season Of 'everyday Italian,' And To This Day People Still Come Up To Me And Say They Love It. It's Very, Very Simple. Basically, You Cook The Pasta And Mix Together Parmesan Cheese, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice And Zest And Pour It Over The Pasta.
