More about Rosalinda At age 4, she was fortunate enough to begin enjoying every other summer in Italy where we would spend 5 weeks in the picturesque countryside and mountain villages of Avellino, while day-tripping in Pompeii, Naples, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. Then travel to Rome, Genoa, Pisa, Livorno, Venice, Florence, Rovereto, Trento, and Sicily, etc. visiting other friends and relatives and sight-seeing. This extended dream holiday would conclude with 5 weeks at her mother's beautiful Calabrian seaside hometown enjoying the white-pebbled beach and Ionian Sea. As she got older, she began to appreciate the melodic dialects and spent many afternoons befriending the elders in the piazzas to slowly learn a little of their particular dialects, which to this day still fascinate me. I was also fortunate enough, thanks to my language skills, to live and work overseas for several years with the U.S. Government as a translator. Rosalinda now enjoys teaching a few Italian classes to adults both here in Baltimore and in Annapolis through the Oreste Pandola Learning Center located at 914 Stiles Street in Little Italy, in the former St. Leo's Elementary School. In addition to language classes, many other affordable courses are offered which include cooking, baking, art, wine and liqueur making, etc. Classes run for about 8 weeks on either Thursday evenings from 7-9pm or Saturday mornings or afternoons from 1-3pm. Some pasta and bread making or wine and olive-oil history classes are only a 1 class event for a minimal fee. For information on courses or to register you may visit on-line at http://www.pandola.baltimore.md.us/ Giving Back Two years ago with the full support of Fr. Michael Salerno, Nino Germano, Maria Serafini, and Rosalinda, the St. Leo's Little Italy "Hands and Hearts" Outreach Ministry was established. They have a Tuesday Homeless Feeding, as well as numerous other volunteer projects. All donations, no matter how small or how great, are deeply appreciated and can be made in honor of or in memory of a loved one, to either Friday Outreach, Hands&Hearts, or both. All are welcome to attend our meetings held every 2nd Sunday of each month after the 11:30am Mass in the St. Leo's Church Hall at 229 South Exeter Street at the corner of Stiles and Exeter streets.

Ciao,

Let me introduce myself, I am Daniela Useli and I want to share with you the traditional foods of my Italy and my home, Sardinia, where meals are prepared with simple and locally-grown, fresh ingredients.

As a child, I would spend much time in the kitchen with my mother, a culinary artist in her own right, as she prepared wonderful meals and beautiful, delicious pastries. I learned at my mother’s apron strings and she at her mother’s apron strings and so on, this way the traditional Sardinian and family recipes continue to live.

My Passion

It has been many years since my 8th birthday when I was given my first recipe book, even then, at such an early age, my passion for cooking was apparent. I have prepared all the recipes in that treasured book, many times over and the pages are well-worn with love.

There is no greater joy then to have family and friends alike to my table and see their eyes close and their head nod upon the first bite. I revel in throwing parties and I have been known to have up to 100 guests. For these types of occasions, I will be in the kitchen from early dawn and through the night preparing, with love, the foods of my home country.

An Idea is Born

Any cook worth their salt, continues to work and refine their recipes whether a pinch more of this or a little less of that and I too was doing the same with my Spinach Lasagna. The results of this recipe have been unanimous among our best friends, Alberto, Nancy, Jim, Marilu and Massimo: it is a delicate, light, fabulous dish. At that point, I thought it could be time to submit my creativity to the attention of restaurants and my friend Alberto agreed and wrote to Riccardo Bosio at Sotto Sopra.

When Riccardo replied saying that he was really willing to give my recipes a try, I was shocked and started immediately to organize myself for making the best food out from my recipes. That night, I only slept three hours. When Riccardo tasted my hand-made pastries and my famous Spinach Lasagna he told me I had to cook for him.

Come learn how to make my famous Spinach Lasagna and other true Sardinian dishes at my cooking class. I look forward to meeting you.

Buon Appetito!

Daniela
