Sandra and Martin celebrate the Feast of Saint Joseph. This Roman Catholic holiday also epitomizes the essence of Italian and Italian American traditions, family celebrations, and cooking. They discover that this holiday, in contrast with the ebullient Saint Patrick's Day, is more about appreciating Fathers and the Father of the Holy Family, and eating special foods that are simple, but hearty...except for the delicious Zeppole di San Giuseppe which are a luscious treat. Martin prepares two recipes from Michele Scicolone's most excellent book ITALIAN HOLIDAY COOKING. They are Saint Joseph's Soup and Saint Joseph's Pasta.
