You could say the book Bacio di Cucina which translates to a kiss from the kitchen grew out a little slap on the arm.
That slap was just one of the stories told by Lakewood Ranch s Angela Massaro-Fain April 10 as she danced through her Central Park kitchen while finishing off her grandmother s classic manicotti recipe.
During Massaro-Fain s childhood in Elizabeth, New Jersey, she often would be picked up at school by her grandfather, Emilio Zamarra, who brought her to his house where she would begin her servicia or chores. Those chores were laid out by Angela Zamarra known to those in her family and in her burg as Nanny.
