| Message | Thank you so much!! I am originally from New Orleans, and my grandmother used to help her neighbor (an immigrant from Sicily at age 13) make Sicilian fig cakes, ammonia cookies, sesame cookies and other baked delights at Christmas and St. Joseph's Day. Grandma never learned the recipe, because "Miss Rosie" had the recipes in her head and in her hands... Nothing was measured. Well, Miss Rosie passed away, Grandma passed away, and now I only rarely encounter Sicilian Christmas cookies on visits home. No one I have asked could give me the recipe, and until now I have never thought to search for one on the Internet. Really I was just searching for the definitive spelling of Cuchidahti! I am SO appreciative of your posting this recipe for all to share. God willing, for St. Joseph's Day I will try my hand at Cuchidahti, and I hope Miss Rosie approves of the final product. THANKS AGAIN! |
