My family isn’t Italian (we’re mostly Scottish and English) but my grandma is just like yours. Sassy, blunt, and hilarious. And a damn good cook to boot.
U can cook a little bite of the meatball mix .i used to make hundreds and was trained to cook a tiny bit of the meatball mix .your customers are not eating raw meat why would you taste it raw?
My cousin is Stanley Tucci and his movie, Big Night, introduced our family recipe for Timpano. We have it every Christmas. Even though this version varies from our recipe, I have to give the video 5 stars. What a wonderful production! Bravo.
What is the difference between your family recipe, and how it's shown in this clip? I saw some recipes with a lot of additional ingredients, and I want to make this for our next family meal. It looks fabulous!
My grandmother was a wonderful cook, everything that she made was magical. The grandmother above cooks just like mine did. What I would give to taste her food again.
I Love when Nonna says "Better than Del Posto, right?" and her grandson says, "I don't know about that Grandma?" and she's says "What?" in astonishment .. I AGREE with Grandma, I think hers is BETTER than Del Posto . Basta !
Great film. Watching them make the "Sunday Sauce" brings me back to my days at Lidias in Kansas City. I used to make that every Saturday so it was ready for Sunday.
TOTALLY AWESOME! Now I'm not going to be able to eat for a week, because I know I won't be able to find anything this good where I reside. How may I get an invite to your next family dinner?!
There are a couple really wonderful recipes on YT and online. Also, just to really enjoy the culture and food, look for a clip from Big Nite and watch the Timpano episode.
Okay... I've made a version of this in a curved bowl with the whole surface ziti rather than dough. Next I'm going to do in a springform pan with turkey, stuffing, peas, broccoli, and then surface in sweet potatoes with cranberry sauce to finish. Will get it figured out if not perfected by Thanksgiving. Wish me luck!
funny my friends are going to your place this weekend for sal gambino's 60th bday, his wife vicky was telling me about your place and i have never found anyone who knows how to make timpano from big night here in new york, i cant wait to visit your place now
There's no "timpano" in Italy: "timpano" means eardrum in italian. The correct term is "timballo". There're a lot of words, related to italian food, uncorrectly translated into english.
È un'altra cosa, il timballo è una ricetta italiana tradizionale fattibile anche a casa (mi vengono in mente il timballo teramano delle tue parti o lo scrigno di venere emiliano) mentre il timpano è una sorta di megaricetta leggendaria (probabilmente inventata negli stati uniti) che non appartiene alla tradizione ma è composta da svariati ingredienti della cucina nostrana racchiusi in uno scrigno di pasta. Guarda il film Big Night, lí lo citano.
