What’s better than grandma’s cooking? Well, nothing. Which is the raison d'etre of Staten Island's Enoteca Maria. The brilliant brainstorm belongs to owner Jody Scaravella, who started out a decade ago with just Italian nonnas but has branched out to include 30 grandmas from around the world; think Argentina, Algeria, Syria, the Dominican Republic, Poland, Liberia, and Nigeria. Every night there is one Italian grandma in the kitchen, joined by another nonna with a different culinary tradition.
Such a wealth of grandmothers! A bevy of babushkas! It’s so wonderful; a celebration of different cultures, with heaps of honor for the strong nurturing women who sometimes get pushed aside when younger generations become too busy with their own lives. Plus, grandma food. Homemade, authentic cooking that comes from tradition with no shortage of old-school ingredients and techniques.
But wait, a bunch of grandmas in the same kitchen? Full story...
