Our Story
The year is 1971. In a small apartment in Queens, two sisters cook. Their mother Bev, in bed with a collapsed lung, calls instructions to them from the next room. And so begins Debbie and Janis’ life long love affair with cooking.
Today, we are still going strong, cooking for friends and family. We have cooked from Westchester to Manhattan to the Hamptons. While we often still turn to our mother's original dishes, our repertoire of favorites has blossomed far beyond those early days, now including many of our own creations, as well as recipes passed down from Deb’s 101-year-old Italian mother-in-law, Helen.
Just as this website brings together the recipes of many people and many generations, we hope the meals they inspire continue to bring together friends and loved ones for generations to come.
Happy cooking!
Deb and Jan
