Ah, Marcella! I’d love to see that recipe, alongside the one featured here. I had to leave behind her superb book in my last international move. Never again! Ruth, your anecdotes are priceless!

As Rozanne says, “A recipe holds the future.” Agree! It’s why I teach.

I made Mrs. Bergamini’s sauce twice in the last two weeks, with perfect heirloom tomatoes from the NYC green market. You’re right it’s amazing! The first time, I peeled the tomatoes as indicated, the second time I didn’t and it really didn’t matter, just as delicious with the skins!

I always look forward to the summer tomatoes, and this recipe will be added to my rotation. Thank you, Ruth!

Saw Marcella’s tomato sauce again in your piece, made it again the next day (with shrimps) MmMMmmmmmm delicious

Have never encountered this recipe in her books, but found it recently in her son Guliano’s 2012 Book Hazan Family Favorites

Tally Ho, Talley Ho, it’s off to the wine tables I go!

We are in the process of selling the film to a streamer, so hopefully there will soon be a way to watch it on line.

I am so sad to have missed out on so many of your recipes in Save Me the Plums. Recipes at the end of a chapter is one of my favorite things about some of the books I read especially if it’s part of the story. Maybe in your next book?
