My name is Susan Gorgone, a New Orleans native. My grandmother Susanna Ruffino (Big Mama) and I cooked together when I was a child until she passed in my twenties. I loved cooking with my grandmother, who never used measurements. Her hands would form a perfect tablespoon and teaspoon. I can now do that, too. I have been making these recipes and St. Joseph altars with my family for over fifty years. Enjoy these Italian and St. Joseph altar recipes from my grandmother, my mother, and me!
