Comments on: Zeppole, a holiday tradition http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2010/12/14/zeppole-a-holiday-tradition/ Blogs from Rachael Ray and her friends Tue, 21 May 2013 01:04:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Joan Crosby http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2010/12/14/zeppole-a-holiday-tradition/#comment-35486 Joan Crosby Fri, 24 Dec 2010 15:01:59 +0000 http://blog.rachaelray.com/?p=11025#comment-35486 Christmas Fruit & Nuts - My dad would shop at this great produce market in downtown Buffalo which supplied restaurants with their fruits and veggies. Everything was top quality. He had to have fresh pineapple, pomegrante, tangerines, grapes and prickly pear in the house for the holidays. Also, chestnuts and other nuts in their shells as an accompaniment for coffee. Chestnuts were first methodically crossed with a sharp knife and roasted with a little water or red wine in an uncovered pan in the oven. The chestnuts were easily peeled opened and eaten best when warm. Buon natale !

Most of the time I have to take some of the really hot spices out because i can't eat them anymore, but i love them. I would like to get the recipe for cauliflower soup that a guest made on your show. The show aired on 12-21-2010. I get yours from your web site, but I would really like it if I could get the recipe for the soup from you. I hope you're show is on for a long time to come. I love your show and recipes.

I'm not much of a rib fan, and i don't want to throw it away because those are some nice sized chunks of meat. But now i don't know what to do with them. i was thinking of marinating them...but then what? I'm a single mom of an 11 month old, and he gets bored quickly so i can't spend too much time in the kitchen. Do you have any ideas of what i could do with it, without me or my kitchen getting too messy? (lol) I love rich and hearty meals. By the way, I "liked" the gerber page and think its great what you're doing. I often try and help where i can, even something so effortless like that. :) Wish best regards, and hoping for an answer, Angie and her baby Zach Hi Rachel,

The only difference we use a cutter to shape them pretty and round.

I would like to specify though that while zeppole are a common traditional festive sweet in Southern Italy, there are hundreds of different recipes and occasions in which they are eaten! Apart from this one, which is made during Christmas time (and not necessarily for New Year's Eve, especially in Campania), the most well known zeppole are prepared in March (for St. Joseph) and during Carnival. Thank you for posting and for reminding me how good zeppole are! :) Such a simple yet great recipe, I love zeppole!
