Pranziamo insieme project

The Pranziamo Insieme Project

Co.As.it. (SA) presents Pranziamo Insieme, a weekly cooking show hosted by Rosa Matto and Andrea Planamente.

Broadcasted live on Radio Italiana – 531AM every Friday 11am-12pm. 

 

Tune in live every Friday and join us for lunch, as we prepare a different meal each week to share with all of our listeners at home.

 

Together we’ll cook, laugh, sing and dance!

 

The aim of the Pranziamo Insieme project is to engage with Co.As.It. (SA) volunteers, clients and the wider Italo-Australian community in order to increase greater social connectivity whilst reducing social isolation.

 

Co.As.It. (SA) invites all of our consumers, volunteers and the wider Italian community to send in a lunchtime recipe for us to prepare, together with an explanation of why the dish is so special to you!

 

If you would like to submit a recipe for Rosa and Andrea to prepare live on the ‘Pranziamo Insieme’ radio show, please get in contact with Co.As.It. (SA) through our send feedback button at the bottom of the page.

 

We will then get in contact with you if the recipe will be featuring on the show and if we need any further information. 

 

Bon appetit!

Episode 1 - 15/05/2020

– Melanzane alla parmigiana.

For our first show, the Melanzane alla Parmigiana recipe was provided by our special guest host Rosa Matto and was passed down to her from her mother. This is a tribute to her mother’s famous recipe. She was the champion of this recipe and Rosa’s family requested this dish every picnic. This is quite a laborious recipe, though the result is worthwhile and feeds a lot of people. it is delicious hot or at room temperature.

The recipe for ‘La torta di compleanno della nonna’ was supplied by Maria, one of our wonderful volunteers at the St Maria Goretti Group.

This recipe was passed down to her by her mother in Italy. It would routinely be prepared for family birthdays and now it brings back the nostalgia of those times everytime she prepares it.

Maria now bakes this cake for her own children and grandchildren’s birthdays and for other special occasions. It is a very special and loved recipe by all member’s of her family.
