Welcome... When it comes to the holidays, food traditions are an important part of the celebrations in countries around the world. Italy has numerous regional traditions when it comes to Christmas dinner. In some parts of Italy, they celebrate with The Feast of the Seven Fishes. This meal includes different fish dishes prepared in a variety of ways. More often than not, two of the featured items are baccala (salted cod) and calamari. In other areas, they eat roasted lamb, or poultry roasted or boiled and seasoned with sauce. Sweets also play an important role during the holiday season, and in Northern Italy, one of the most famous holiday sweets is panettone – a cake with candied fruit, chocolate, raisins, and nuts. Other treats include torrone, nougat, marzipan, zeppole, cannoli, and pandoro. In this issue you’ll find we will touch on more than one Italian tradition. But before we skip right into winter learn a little bit about the types of produce autumn has to offer on page 14. Then for the colder months, seven facts you probably didn’t know about the Feast of the Seven Fishes tradition on page 98. On page 118 we try to solve the age old debate: Panettone or Pandoro? Whether you follow cultural holiday traditions to a “T” or make your own traditions we hope you enjoy the season with food, family and friends. From everyone on The Last Bite Staff and Ferraro Foods:
We wish you a very Happy Holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. Best Regards,
The Last Bite Staff

Avoiding Shift Work Sleep Disorder 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder. Do you? My name is Jeff Haas and I am the Safety Manager at Ferraro Foods. I come to work every day with one goal in mind, that goal is to make sure every employee comes to work safely, works the entire day safely and then returns home safely. If this happens every day, I have done my job, if not, I need to learn from whatever happened, find a solution to the issue and make sure that the issue never happens again. People who work nontraditional hours often experience shift work sleep disorder. This typically occurs in those who work at night, early mornings, or have rotating shifts outside the usual 9-to-5 schedule. Symptoms of shift work sleep disorder include insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, poor quality sleep, lack of energy, anxiety, and depression. These challenges arise because the “off-peak” work schedule can confuse the body’s circadian rhythm, an internal clock that dictates when you sleep and wake. The good news: Simple lifestyle adjustments can help you mitigate these effects and improve your sleep schedule. Follow these tips to help prevent or alleviate shift work sleep disorder Take a Nap Taking short naps can help improve alertness on the job. In addition to combating excessive sleepiness, a 90-minute nap right before your night shift can give you a boost of energy without disrupting sleep later on. Because consistency is key to helping your body adjust to a new sleep schedule, try to nap every evening before work, and stick with that scheduled naptime on weekends or days off.
Eat Smart Good nutrition can go a long way to improving sleep issues. Regular mealtimes are cues for your body’s internal clock that it is time to rev the engine and start your day-even when your “day” is at night. Even if your meals fall at awkward times (like a 2 A.M. lunch break), stick to eating three (3) meals plus a few healthy snacks throughout the hours you are awake in order to keep your body fueled and energy level even. Avoid eating too many high-carbohydrate foods or foods that are high in sugar, as these will cause energy levels to spike and then crash. If you are hungry after a night shift, eat a small meal or a light, healthy snack, which will make it easier to fall asleep. Many factors can keep you from getting the sleep you need, so focus on the issues you can control. To get your recommended hours- and make them as restful as possible- remember A.C.E.S.: A: Alcohol- While drinking alcohol may make you feel drowsy, it can actually interrupt your circadian rhythm and cause poor-quality sleep. It can also make you more prone to snoring and sleep apnea. C: Caffeine- As a stimulant, consuming caffeine can disrupt your sleep patterns. Avoid it for as long as six hours before bedtime. E: Environment- Keep your bedroom cool and dark. Consider blackout curtains and turning down the thermostat. S: Screens- The blue light from TVs, phones, tablets and other electronic devices can keep your body from producing melatonin, the hormone that helps you relax and get to sleep. Avoid screens for at least 30 minutes before bed.

Autumn is the time when we’re really excited to get back into our kitchens and spend some time tinkering again: making long-simmered stews and sauces, braising, baking, and other forms of cooking that we eschew in hotter weather. Luckily, the cooler temperatures bring a whole slew of seasonal goodies to cook with, from crisp apples and juicy pears to hearty greens, sweet root vegetables, and sturdy winter squash. Make the most of what you’ll find at the markets this autumn with our comprehensive guide for buying, storing, and preparing the season’s best produce.
Apples
There is, perhaps, no ingredient more representative of autumn than a crisp, sweet-tart apple. The fruit’s widespread popularity is reflected in the incredible number of varieties available: In North America alone, there are 2,500 types of apples, and over 7,500 kinds grown around the world. Not all apples serve the same purpose; particular types work better in certain preparations. Gala, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious are best eaten raw; those in the McIntosh family, including Cortland, Empire, and Macoun, are good for both eating out of hand or making applesauce; and Jonathan, Jonagold, Pink Lady, Mutsu, and Rome are all well suited to baking, since they tend to hold their shape well. Mix and match flavors and textures to achieve your ideal combination.
How To Store
Store apples in a cool, dark place away from other ethylene-sensitive produce. Early in the season, they are best eaten as soon as possible. Mid season apples will keep for weeks, and late-season fruit is good for up to a few months.
The Last Bite // 14
How To Prepare
To core apples, cut them into quarters and use a paring knife to remove the stem and seeds. Cut apples will oxidize quickly; a squeeze of lemon over sliced apples will prevent browning.
Squash
The term “winter squash” encompasses a staggering array of hard-skinned squash varieties that are best from early fall through winter. Their flesh is usually yellow to deep-orange, with a starchy consistency that turns creamy and sweet when cooked. Out of the hundreds of varieties, each has its own unique flavor and ideal uses; a few top our list for versatility and availability. Dark green- and orangeskinned acorn squash has a tender golden interior that makes a candy-sweet, creamy purée; butternut squash’s sweet, easy-to-peel flesh lends itself brilliantly to pie filling; diminutive delicata, with its thin, edible skin, is wonderful sliced and sautéed in a little butter; and roasted sliced spaghetti squash has a light flavor and texture that’s perfect topped with walnut-miso glaze. Where pumpkins are concerned, we’re partial to the small, spherical winter luxury pie variety, which makes a wonderfully silky pie filling; jarrahdale, with its tough orange flesh that makes a purée as sweet and luscious as mashed sweet potatoes; and Dickinson, a beige, football-shaped variety with a honeyed flavor.
How to Store:
Thanks to its thick, hard skin, whole winter squash can be stored in a cool, dark place for several weeks. Cut, raw squash will keep, refrigerated, for a few days.
How to Prepare:
If cooking whole, squash needs little more than a good scrub. For other preparations, remove the skin: Cut the bottom of the squash so it’s level, then remove the outer layer from top to bottom with a sharp knife. Slice in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut into slices or cubes for cooking.
Beets
How to Store:
This earthy, sweet root vegetable comes in red, pink, orange, yellow, and white varieties, as well as a range of sizes. Both the bulbous root and leafy stalk are edible, making it a versatile ingredient in dishes both raw and cooked. We like to keep roasted beets on hand for soups, purées, and wraps—just rinse each bulb, wrap individually in aluminum foil, and roast in a hot oven for an hour. The common garden beet’s vibrant fuchsia hue will color anything it’s cooked with—try pickling beets with hard-boiled eggs for a beautiful snack. Cut the bulbous roots from the stalk before storing; place the leaves and stalks in a perforated plastic bag in the crisper. The beet roots can be stored loose, also in the crisper. Do not wash either until you are ready to use them.
How to Prepare:
When working with beets you may want to wear gloves, as the color will stain your hands. If a recipe calls for cooked beets, we prefer roasting them to concentrate their flavor. Leave the skin on; it prevents the juices from bleeding out, and they slip right off after cooking. To remove grit from leaves, agitate them in a bowl of cold water, remove leaves, and repeat with fresh water if needed. Spin until thoroughly dried, or pat dry.
Broccoli Rabe
Of all the bitter greens, broccoli rabe—also called rapini, broccoletti, and broccoli raab—is one of our favorites. Available year-round, it’s at its best in cooler weather. The vegetable’s leafy stalks and tender buds taste like a delicious hybrid of broccoli and mustard greens, with a robust, slightly bitter flavor that works great in pastas, on top of pizzas, or slow-cooked as a side dish. Toss blanched and chopped broccoli rabe with goat cheese, red chile flakes, lemon zest, and delicate orecchiette for a bright, spicy take on pasta salad; sauté it with garlic for a pungent side to pair with parmesancrusted fish; or cook it gently in a water bath over medium-low heat for an hour or so, until it turns mellow and supple, to serve alongside Italian sausage. stalks in a damp paper towel and store in a perforated plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the How to Store: Wrap refrigerator for up to 5 days. Avoid storing it near ethylene-emitting produce such as apples or pears. How to Prepare: Trim off tough ends of the stalks, if needed; rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Making White Wine from Fresh Juice
Making white wine from fresh juice can be very easy. This premium juice has been balanced for acid and sugar by a professional wine maker. With proper yeast inoculation and maintenance, you are on your way to beautiful white wine. 1. Add ¼ tsp of potassium metabisulfite per 5 gallons of juice. Stir well and allow the juice to warm up to 60 degrees F. If using pectic enzyme, add 5 drops of pectic enzyme per gallon of juice. 2. If you would like to ferment in another container (glass carboy, demi john, or stainless steel tank) be sure your new container has been sanitized with a sanitizing strength solution of potassium metabisulfite (2oz/ gallon or 3tbsp/gallon of water). Be sure to shake free/ drain out any remaining drops of potassium metabisulfite solution. Do not rinse it off as that will reintroduce bacteria to the container. Just be sure that there are no puddles or lingering sanitizer that would amount to more than a tablespoon. Make sure there is at least 2 inches of headspace in the container to allow for the increase in volume due to fermentation. You can ferment in the food grade plastic pail that the juice came in, just be sure there is enough headspace to accommodate the fermentation foam. 3. Once the juice has warmed to above 60 degrees F, you may set your yeast. Follow the yeast starter directions explicitly. Be very careful of temperatures, never adding yeast if there is more than a 10 degree difference between the yeast starter liquid and the juice. 4. Secure an airlock in place on your container to allow the CO₂ generated at fermentation to escape. Monitor the progress of fermentation by observing the bubbles in the airlock. You
should see some bubbling within 24 hours. Keep the fermenting wine in a moderately cool room, 60-65 degrees. Avoid direct sunlight or any area with carpet, just in case of bubbling over or spillage. 5. If you choose to use supplemental nutrients, such as Fermiad O, Fermaid K, or Opti-White, here is the timing of the additions: OptiWhite and Booster Blanc: add 1 day after yeast Fermaid O: add 1 day after yeast. Fermaid K: at the depletion of 1/3 of Brix (approx. 15 degrees Brix) For all of these nutrients, mix with water to create a slurry and stir well into the juice. 6. When you no longer see any bubbles in the airlock, take a measurement using a hydrometer to see if fermentation has fully completed. Using a sanitized wine thief or syringe, pull a sample of fermenting wine that is large enough to fill the hydrometer cylinder. Always sanitize the hydrometer and the cylinder before taking a reading. Look to the meniscus of the wine surface in relation to the hydrometer for the most accurate reading. When the wine is fermented to dryness (0.90 Specific Gravity), is has completed its primary fermentation. Allow the lees particles to settle (24 hours), and then rack the wine into a sanitized container. Be sure that the container is filled within ½” of the top to prevent air exposure. At this point, it is imperative to add ¼ tsp of potassium metabisulfite per 5 gallons of wine. The sulfites will kill off any harmful microbes and prevent the wine from oxidizing.

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT BUSINESS NAME: Villaggio Iccara Restaurant LOCATIONS: 104 Yardville Allentown Road Yardville NJ 08620 PHONE: (609) 585-6668 WEBSITE: www.Iccara.com INTERVIEWED: Cristina Mondello
HISTORY My parents bought Iccara in 1986, at the time it was a small shack like pizzeria with a line wrapped around the building on Friday nights! After years of thinking BIG, they decided to move forward with their dream of opening and expanding into a restaurant. In 1999, we open our dining room doors and have been a full service - family owned and operated restaurant since then.
WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR ITEM ON THE MENU? Our house specialty is our Mediterranean Branzino - oven roasted, drizzled with our citrus herb sauce and served with julienned vegetables. We started serving Branzino about 2-3 years ago and since then it’s grown into a house favorite.

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT BUSINESS NAME: Di Lisi Ristorante & Pizzeria LOCATIONS: 34 Cornwell Dr. Bridgeton, New Jersey 08302 WEBSITE: www.dilisi.com HISTORY: In 1978 the Di Lisi family bought the establishment then known as “Pizza Plaza”. The business has remained in the family ever since. Sal Di Lisi’s (current owner) parents left the business to Sal and his brother, Chris, when they chose to retire back to Sicily, where they are originally from. Chris got married and started running a separate location with his wife. Sal married Nancy in 1987 and they decided to continue the family business together. Since then the restaurant went through a name change, now being coined Di Lisi Ristorante & Pizzeria and two major remodels. Sal and Nancy also opened a second restaurant in Vineland, NJ. They ended up selling this business to focus more on the Bridgeton location and their two children, Giacomo and Valeria (who both have dinners named after them on the Di Lisi menu). Today the business is still doing great, they expanded to offer delivery about three years ago. Di Lisi welcomes all with open arms to have a delightful experience in their restaurant. WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR ITEM ON THE MENU? Salad Pizza. Which consists of a pizza shell topped with a house garden salad, shredded mozzarella and house dressing. This pizza is very popular during the summer months. Customer’s favorites also include Gnoochi Capri, Veal Giacomo and Shrimp Valeria. WHAT IS DI LISI’S KEY(S) TO SUCCESS? Consistency. They keep their recipes consistent. They have had the same cooks for a very long time so they are able to ensure every dish is just as delicious every time it is ordered. The Di Lisi family is also very well known and loved in the community.

Seven all-natural ingredients are part of our 100 year old tradition. We believe that the history is in the baking.
Times have changed, but at Westminster Bakers, we haven’t. Leastways, not insofar as things that matter. The treadmill is gone, and the ovens aren’t wood-fired any longer, but we still take the time and effort to bake the crackers right. We stick with the same basic, wholesome ingredients that our first Master Baker used nearly 200 years ago‌ingredients that everyone can pronounce. The "bake" is still long and slow, for crackers that are simply delicious.

Mussels with Spicy Tomato Oil and Grilled Bread
IT IS NOT A ROMAN CATHOLIC FEAST DAY The Feast of the Seven Fishes may go hand-in-hand with Roman Catholicism, but it’s not a religious “feast day.” There is no such thing as the “Feast of the Seven Fishes” in the Roman Catholic calendar. (In fact, in Roman Catholicism, a feast day has nothing to do with gorging yourself and everything to do with reflecting on and celebrating an important aspect of the faith, often the life of a saint.) The tradition’s name merely takes after the lay definition of feast: that is, there’s a lot of food on the table!
Crab Toast with Lemon Aioli
Rock Shrimp Pasta with Spicy Tomato Sauce
TRADITIONALLY, DECEMBER 24th WAS A DAY TO AVOID FOOD In the Catholic liturgical calendar, there are special days of abstinence and days of fasting. Before reforms were made in the 1960s, December 24th—what Roman Catholics call The Vigil of the Nativity of the Lord—was a day to fast and abstain, with worshippers generally allowed to break the fast in the evening. The Feast of the Seven Fishes, then, seems like an obvious solution to the circumstances: You have a big, hungry Catholic-Italian family that hasn’t touched food all day. None of them are allowed to eat meat. What else is there to do but prepare a giant evening meal of pasta and seafood?
THE TRADITION BEGAN IN SOUTHERN ITALY, BUT NOT THE NAME While the tradition of enjoying a large meatless Christmas Eve meal was (and remains) common across Italy—as well as many other Roman Catholic-dominated countries—the origins of the Feast of the Seven Fishes has its roots in southern Italy. The area, which is surrounded by bountiful coastline, has been known for its seafood for generations. It's also historically poorer than the rest of Italy, with locals preferring fish because of its relative affordability.
Linguine with Clams
THE UNIFICATION OF ITALY ULTIMATELY HELPED BRING THE FEAST TO AMERICA In 1861, the regions of the Italian peninsula joined to form a single nation. The states of the south (what had formerly been the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies) would suffer for it. The new government began allocating most of its resources to nurturing the north, causing poverty and organized crime in the south—which were already problems—to worsen. The situation plunged southern Italy into such poverty that approximately 4 million people from the region moved to America between 1880 and 1924. It’s no surprise that those immigrants took their tradition of big, fishy Christmas Eve dinners with them, making it a popular Italian-American celebration today.
IN ITALY, THEY WOULD HAVE SIMPLY CALLED THE FEAST LA VIGILIA
Balsamic-Glazed Salmon with Spinach, Olives, and Golden Raisins
Those immigrants, however, probably didn’t call it the “Feast of the Seven Fishes.” More likely, they called it some variant of La Cena della vigilia, Il Cenone, La vigilia di Natale, or simply La Vigilia. The current name of the feast—and the practice of making exactly seven types of fish—comes from the new world. Not many observe the number in Italy. Many Italians have never even heard of “the Feast of Seven Fishes”.
IT’S UNCLEAR WHAT THE “SEVEN FISHES” SIGNIFY Nobody knows where the “seven fishes” moniker came from. Many insist it’s a religious symbol. The number seven, after all, appears hundreds of times in the Bible and is significant in the Roman Catholic Church: It may represent the seven sacraments. Or the seven virtues. Or perhaps it commemorates the day Christians believe God rested. Others say the number is just a good marketing tool used by restaurants. (Indeed, the earliest newspaper article we found containing the phrase “Feast of the Seven Fishes” is a 1983 advertisement for a restaurant in Philadelphia.)
THE VARIETY IS MOUTHWATERING Talk with 10 Italian-Americans about the special feast, and you could come up with 10 dinner menus, plus a varying selection of fish. That’s the beauty of the feast: There are no hard and fast rules. Some people include as many as 12 or 13 dishes, including mussels in spaghetti, fried calamari, anchovies, sardines, whiting with lemon, scungilli, lobster fra diavolo, capellini with tuna sauce, branzino, sole, and shrimp scampi. Many insist on eel. Another almost universal recommendation is baccalà—dried, salted cod. But the most important ingredient, of course, is friends and family.

No holiday meal is complete without dessert, but when it comes to traditional Italian Christmas cakes, will you be serving panettone or pandoro? This is a real dilemma in many Italian families, often split between panettone lovers and pandoro lovers. The first faction finds pandoro to be too simple and buttery, the second group usually hates raisins and candied fruits which abound in panettone. There is only one peaceful solution: you buy both! But let’s explore the actual differences.
What is Panettone?
Panettone is a Christmastime cake that hails from Milan. The cake dough requires several hours to make because it must be cured in a way similar to sourdough, rising and falling three times before being baked. The sweet, yeasty treat has a distinctive domed shape. Panettone is often compared to fruitcakes because both are traditionally made with raisins and candied fruits (though we love the festive varieties, such as hazelnut or chocolate).
What is Pandoro?
Similar to panettone, pandoro is made from a rich, eggy dough, not unlike a French brioche, explaining its name of “golden bread.” The cake is baked in an eight-pointed star-shaped pan that gives it its signature form. It’s modeled after the mountains near Verona, where the cake was first made. In fact, the earliest versions of pandoro were made during the era of the Venetian Republic, when trade had made the region extremely wealthy; some are said to have been served covered in gold leaf! These days, we tend to dust pandoro with a small amount of vanilla-flavored powdered sugar instead – the “snow” on the top of the mountains!
A Holiday Tradition
Origin Story of Panettone
Once upon a time, there was a noble Milanese falcon trainer named Ughetto, who fell in love with Adalgisa, the daughter of the town baker. It pained Ughetto to see his crush working so hard at the struggling bakery, so he posed as a peasant and offered to work there for free so she didn’t have to. He got the idea to boost business at the bakery by enriching its breads with butter and sugar and eggs—luxuries in 15th-century Milan, even for a nobleman. So Ughetto sold some of his birds to buy the ingredients, blended them into a cake-like bread studded with raisins and candied citrus, saved the bakery, and took Adalgisa’s hand in marriage.
History of Pandoro
Did You Know.. Panettone is hardly ever made at home and almost always purchased, mostly because of its time-intensive baking process (the dough alone takes 30 hours to rise).
While panettone originated in Milan, pandoro is a pound cake variation of the sweet bread that originated in Verona. There is much debate about the origins of pandoro and some believe it dates back to ancient Roman times, but the most modern pandoro recipes are based on 18th and 19th century versions of the bread made for rich Venetians. When panettone became a favorite treat first in Milan then the rest of Italy, a pastry chef named Domenico Melegatti from Verona wanted to improve the recipe, making it softer and lighter. He increased the amount of butter and eggs in Panettone and on October 30, 1894, Melegatti obtained a patent for a technique to be applied in producing pandoro industrially.
The Verdict
So which is it? Panettone or Pandoro? This one is going to end in a draw. Both holiday cakes pair well with coffee and wine. And to give your slice an extra festive twist, pair it with whipped cream, sweet spreads, fresh fruit, and dark chocolate. In the end, what matters the most is that people gather around the Christmas table and merrily celebrate together, possibly with tasty cakes and flavored wines!

About Our Cannoli Shells & Cream
D’Agostino cannoli shells are carefully hand crafted from all natural ingredients. Our specialty dough is made of a precise mix of simple, quality ingredients, including only flour, sugar, palm oil, vanilla, cocoa, salt, and water. We begin by sheeting the dough, allowing it to break down and blend. Thousands of layers are created in this way and then each cannoli is carefully hand rolled with skill and attention. The resulting roll is fried in palm oil for 2 minutes to create our golden, crispy shells. The final product is a beautiful cannoli shell which is smooth, dense and non-greasy. Additionally, our shells have an impressive shelf life of one year. Available sizes: Large & Mini. Large are 30 grams and 6 inches long, Mini are 14 grams and 3 inches long. Mini cannoli shells are available with the ends dipped in rich dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate pistachio creating a delectable variety of options available to you. We take pride in our sweet assortment of hand dipped shells. All shells are hand packaged to preserve their freshness and maximize quality. We guarantee against breakage. Our superior cannoli cream is truly one of a kind. Imported from Sicily, the cream is made of a traditional blend of the finest ricotta cheese made from pasteurized sheep milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and optional chocolate chips. The sheep’s milk gives it its unique flavor and the cream is mixed to perfection. ***Cannoli Shells have a shelf life of one year. ***Cannoli shells filled and maintained in refrigerator can last up to 48 hours.
