Gallo Family Recipes and Food Links

There are literally thousands of web pages featuring recipes. Here we want to list recipes that came from “grandma Gallo”, meaning recipes that have been in your family tradition for years. Some are “really Italian” and were probably brought to your country by your parents or grandparents. Some recipes came to our tables from the Gallo immigrants learning from their neighbors in the ‘new country.” An illustration. Many Gallo’s settled in New Orleans in the late 1800’s and quickly adopted the seafood recipes of the area. Now 100 years plus later, those recipes would certainly qualify being listed here.

For a time, we will simply collect the recipes and post them. All countries are welcomed. Later, we will resort the recipes
in logical food groups. We can’t do this without you, so contribute if you can. Simply e-mail the recipe(s) to us with historical or informational comments. Tell us if the recipe is authentic Italian or “adopted.” Please type carefully so we can simply insert your recipe without having to type it again!

IMPORTANT: Place an explicit comment in your e-mail that you release the recipe to us for publication. Your name will
be included as part of the recipe. All Recipes are at your risk.
