- Biscotti X
- This recipe is in Italian.
- Cannoli
- Hmmm... I believe this may have been Ralph's favorite dessert, although he tried not to consume them too frequently! But he sought out good cannoli wherever he could find them.
- Castagniedde
- The Pugliese version of the Tuscan "Castagnaccio", one of Michele's favorites.
- Cheese Cake
- A classic cheesecake from an old friend
- Dried Figs with Almonds
- This was a recipe from the Merola family. Ralph ate it with great pleasure.
- Easter Turnovers
- Pitte dolci di Pasqua, or Easter sweets, Ralph enjoyed making these.
- Low Fat Chocolate Cake
- from Ralph's wonderful friend and Italian teacher, Wendy Walsh
- Michele's Famous Pumpkin Pie
- I was so impressed that Michele had created this recipe as a child...until she told me one day, "No, Colleen, I just used the recipe on the Libby's can."
- Ralph's Granola
- I include this in the dessert category, for lack of a better location: it is eaten at "colazione" or "merenda", rather than at "dinner." However, it certainly is good on vanilla ice cream!
- The Basic (Prize Winning) Biscotti Recipe
- I believe this recipe came from Lottie Trentadue.
- Torta di Mandorla
- Torta di Uva
- Wonderful Grape Cake, from Wendy Walsh
