Later, it became Italy - and many many of her recipes and her roots are from the former Yugoslavia, though she rarely mentions this.<br />The food looks incredible. Love this project you are working through. I now recall seeing the list and the invitation for the project - but, you know... I have been barely hanging on these days with my volunteer work eating up most of my waking hours. Soon...<br />:)<br />ValerieA Canadian Foodiehttp://www.acanadianfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-82728347627424433562011-08-26T11:50:20.516-07:002011-08-26T11:50:20.516-07:00I've had a lot of rollatini in my day, but nev...I've had a lot of rollatini in my day, but never one made with fish!

I've eaten at all her NY restaurants and every one is special. I've always wanted to try making rollatini with swordfish after eating them in Sicily, and here you are featuring them with tuna. Brava to you for featuring her and this delicious recipe.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-40505991303825291932011-08-26T04:46:18.220-07:002011-08-26T04:46:18.220-07:00What an undertaking, Val.
