YOUR DELICIOUS MONTHLY RECIPE

Rita Diacono nee Wirth was born in 1927 in Valletta. Her interest in cooking started, by chance when as a young teenager all her family, except for herself, were down with flu including Ċetta the family cook. Rita had to man the kitchen, with Ċetta giving her instructions from her bedroom nearby. A love for food was born.

When the family opened restaurants over the years, Rita would help with the preparation of desserts, and she would give her ideas and recipes.

In the 90's, Rita was asked to appear on TV to give cooking demonstrations and this led to many appearances on various programmes over the next few years.

In 2022 the family was approached by a leading publisher asking if they were interested in putting together a collection of some of Rita's recipes in a book. 'Simply Rita' is the result.

A Wirth family favourite always prepared for special gatherings and occasions. It seems to have gathered quite a following after it was featured on the Netflix show “Restaurants on the Edge.”
