• Dining with the Saints

  Please check out www.novena.com for my monthly column "Dining with the Saints," which features recipes for saints' days. The beautiful, art-filled blog is written by Barbara Calamari and Sandra DiPasqua and includes the stories of the lives of saints and monthly novenas and prayers. They've written many books on the subject and really know their stuff. I, on the other hand, am a fraud, a Catholic lapsed all the way to atheism. But I love researching and creating great recipes to go with these amazing stories.

• Ask Erica

  Are you searching for a lost Italian recipe? Trying to reconstruct something your grandmother once made, or figure out how to cook something with sea urchin or chestnut flour or guanciale or vino cotto? Or maybe you’d just like to share a recipe or Italian food memory with me and all my readers.
  
  If so, drop me a line.

• Women with Fish

  An ongoing series of photos of anything that can be considered "Women with Fish." If you have any photo you'd like to see in it, send it along to me, at edemane@earthlink.net.
