Joseph Carratura, regional executive chef for Flik Independent School Dining, Gilman School, Baltimore, says: This recipe is one my grandmother would make a lot in the winter. She told me her mom made it for her. I used to love watching her make this because she always involved my cousins as well as myself in the process. She would let us taste it and she even put aprons on us like we were her kitchen helpers.
