Everyone should try the Fiore de Siciia, it’s wonderful! I’ve only been able to find it from King Arthur Flour company, and boy, it’s expensive for so little. I think I’ve broken it down to orange and vanilla extract mixed together. It’s vanilla with an acidic extract. I think it’s aroma is holistic! I love rice pie but don’t like the wheat component so I leave it out. Easter time has so many wonderful and delish desserts!

She said in an Italian specialty shop. I looked on Amazon, they do have it but the wheat is overpriced so I'de look elsewhere.

Oh, Giovanna, it’s SO good to see you! And, of course, Howard, too. 🥰 I love your new intro and the beautiful new color in your kitchen. It’s so fresh and cheerful. The Easter pie looks fantastic. I know where I can get fiori di Sicilia, but I’m not sure I can get my hands on the cooked wheat. Is it bulgur? I really like the way you do the lattice. I always avoid doing a lattice because of the over under business we do here. It may sound silly, but it never occurred to me to do it the Italian way. Also, I think I’ll be able to get the thick ricotta. If I can figure out the wheat situation, I’m going to make this for Easter. Best wishes and can’t wait to see your next video! Marlene 😊

@marlenen.6474 3 ай бұрын

Ah, I should have read your recipe first! I see they’re wheatberries not bulgur. 😊

Ms Giovanna, do you mind sharing that brand you used of the cooked wheat? I want to check if Shop Rite has it, or Stop & Shop. I'm in CT. My aunt use to make those grain pies at Easter but she did it the old fashion way, and it's too much work as you described. I'd like to know if I can get that cooked grain in the supermarkets and what it's called. Thanks so much!

Good morning -- I only want to make one pie using a ready made crust (I'm lazy I know). I have a jar of cooked wheat and will follow your directions -- I'm thinking a half of jar for one pie. I've never made before and want to try making 1 pie ... will my cutting your recipe in half advisable with 1/2 jar of cooked wheat (the jar indicates 560 grams). T hank you so much

I love your cooking and your presentations. I lived near and went to a high school with a student body that was predominately Italian, Greek, and Jewish and there were several specialty stores, delis, and restaurants that catered those traditions and tastes. However, where I live now, the nearest Italian deli or grocery store is more than three hours away. I am aware of many areas where that distance would be a whole days drive, one way. I am sure that there could be hundreds, perhaps thousands, and even tens of thousands of potential viewers who could be in similar situations when it comes to procuring esoteric ethnic culinary ingredients. So, I am suggesting that, although it would not be exactly like the way that grandma would have made it, that you could recommend possible substitutions for arcane ethnic ingredients. Keep in mind, You tube presentations are viewable by the entire population of the planet Earth with an internet connection. A lot of them will very much want to try your recipes. Thanks for sharing.
