And today I’m making one of my favorite old-school Italian-American dishes: chicken parmesan. This is the kind of meal that brings back memories of family, tradition, and the simple way we used to eat at home, and I’m showing you how I make it step by step the way it should be done. I’m keeping it simple, fresh, and delicious — just like the best family recipes always are. Along the way, I share a few stories, a few tips, and a little of the history behind the food, the wine, and the way we grew up around the table.
