TRY ‘EM ALL

To mark the 100th anniversary of my father’s birth on March 3, 1921, Taking Mulligans dedicated these pages to some of his favorite recipes. Louie, as he was known to all, was an avid gardener and forager who took great delight in bringing his harvest into the kitchen.

He enjoyed the creativity and traditions of cooking. Mom cooked the meals, he cooked the delicacies like cardoon, puff balls, fried dough, and stuffed calamari. As my mom Rita would often say, “I cooked to feed, but Louie. He cooked with love.”

Please enjoy cooking these as much as he did– and enjoy eating them as much as we did!
