Veggie Contest Results

So the votes have been tallied, and while I came out on top on the Cucina Domenico poll, the total votes once again went to the one and only Una Mamma Italiana. Very impressive, Una Mamma…you should be proud! What I found most interesting about both of our dishes is that they are a good representation of who we are and what we’re trying to accomplish with our respective blogs. My dish, the Peperonata, was more of an old world, rustic style meal that could be found in just about any Italian household here on the east coast. Una Mamma’s Zucchini Fritters put a sleek and modern spin on a simple garden vegetable, which has a very west coast trendy vibe. So yes, I’m taking the high road on this loss, and chalking the votes up – on both blogs – to regional preference. Maybe this battle showed what each of our readers likes about our particular style? (Stay with me on this one, people….a 14/1 loss is not THAT easy to deal with…OUCH!). In all seriousness, we both encourage you to try both of our recipes and enjoy them. I am very much looking forward to cooking up the Zucchini Fritters in the near future. Once again, congratulations Una Mamma! And until next time….
