The Taste of Lost Summers. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
Despite ample shade under the olive trees, the sun baked the earth — scorched it even — branding every stone, every blade of grass, every inch of that cracked yard with the memory of summers lost. The earthen house — nanna’s house — stood stubborn against the heat, its red-tiled roof sagging like the tired spine of an old woman who’d seen too much. Every summer, we migrated there like moths to a flame, pulled by a gravity we didn’t understand but couldn’t resist. A ritual. A sentence. A salvation.

Kluski z Truskawkami. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
Environment, politics and economy shape not only what we choose to eat, but also what we can. I left Poland as a young child. It was still under communist rule at that time and shortages marked every day of everyone’s life. When people heard that meat would arrive at the butcher shop the retired grandparents would line up, and often camp out, in line in front of the store until it did. As soon as one family heard through the grapevine that there was a shipment coming to the store, grandma or grandpa would secure the family’s spot in line. Once people noticed one grandma in front of the store, news would spread and the other grandparents would rush out to join. You had to be quick. There was rarely anything good left for the last one in line.

My Grandmother's Kulchatay. Runner-Up in A Taste of Home Challenge.
If I were to name one dish from my culture that defined me, I'd say it was kulchatay (pronounced /ku:l-cha-'tay/) from the northern rural region of Kyrgyzstan where I spent my summers as a child and teenager, on my grandparents’ farm.

The Best Chocolate Mousse You’ve Ever Had
“Julia Child wasn’t always Julia Child.” I was revisiting the movie Julie and Julia as I was writing this piece for inspiration and one of the characters spoke these words. Julia Child changed everything for us, especially women.

Popeta E Polenta
Many of my blood relatives were born in Italy including my mother Isabella who was born in Trieste. All of the women in the family were amazing cooks. As an American, I'm not really sure if that is an Italian thing, a Latin thing, or a Catholic thing. Having tasted many of the family dishes, I focused my attention mainly on lasagna to be my signature dish; However, I am not going to share that recipe for this challenge because I think that my lasagna is as Americanized as modern pizza. I'd rather talk about "Popeta E Polenta" as the cultural dish which is a bridge to my family's history. Most people have had burger patties and mashed potatoes, but not everyone is familiar with the Italian version known as "Popeta E Polenta". I believe of all the Italian dishes that I was raised on, "Popeta E Polenta" is the dish that carries on our generational history and tradition most accurately.

Family Traditions Remain As Families Change
You probably know what the "holiday blues" are. Well, when I returned from a week in Greece not so long ago, I think what I experienced was the "depression". Despite how dramatic and privileged this sounds, I felt a happiness during that week that I had not felt for a very long time. It was like an existential release that, when I came down from such a high and back into routine, morphed into an existential crisis. I had not realised how bad things had gotten until I took a step back from it. My soul felt empty, and my stomach definitely was as I could not form an appetite the entire following day. The daylight was beginning to dim and I emerged from my bed to find a large pot of soupa avgolemono resting on the stove with open arms. It took me months to return to neutral ground after hitting such a low. Though, for that short while as I slurped on a bowl of soup watching the television, I felt comfortable.

Cannelloni Chronicles: How Pasta Stuffed My Heart (and Stomach). AI-Generated.
Some dishes transcend taste. They carry memories, traditions, and the warmth of shared moments. For me, cannelloni isn’t just pasta—it’s a love letter from my nonna’s kitchen, wrapped in dough and smothered in sauce.

A Taste of Home: The Legacy of My Grandmother’s Mantı A Nostalgic Journey Through Tradition, Family, and Flavor The scent of sizzling butter infused with red pepper, the tang of garlic yogurt melting on my tongue, the warmth of my grandmother’s kitchen—these are more than just memories. They are a part of who I am.
