Porcini

WHEN PORCINI RESTAURANT WAS FOUNDED IN 1996, I WAS SEEKING ADVICE FROM MY RELATIVES ON FAMILY RECIPES AND HISTORY TO MOLD OUR VISION FOR A FULL AUTHENTIC ITALIAN DINNING EXPERIENCE. OF COURSE MY GOD MOTHER AND AUNT,ROSEMARIE MENZA HAD ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE WE NEEDEDAND GLADLY SHARED HER SECRET RECIPES…. WITH A LITTLE COAXING. HEY WERE HER RECIPES AFTER ALL. OU HAD TO BE ATTENTIVE AND PRECISE IN FOLLOWING HER DIRECTIONS, AS THEY SEEMED TO BE IN A SORT OF CODE . HEN THE FINISHED PRODUCT WAS COMPLETED, THE CULINARY REWARDS WERE DELICIOUS WITH DEPTH. OU COULD TASTE THE TRADITION AND YOU FELT SPECIAL AND PRIVILEGED THAT SHE SHARED HER TIME AND PATIENCE TO GUIDE YOU. OUR BEAUTIFUL AUNT PASSED ON FEBUARY 10, 2010. I ONLY HOPE THAT I CAN PASS ON HER FLAVORS AND LOVE TO ALL.
