Hi! We’re Bill and Leah.
Welcome to Bagels and Lasagna, a food blog inspired by our grandparents’ kitchens.
Neither one of us is a professional chef. However, we love to eat and we love to cook. Still, we are far from refined. What you will find here is our attempt to bring to life the recipes that Bill’s Italian-American grandparents used as well as Leah’s Jewish-American grandparents cooked.
In addition, Leah has strong New England roots. So we’ve included recipes from that branch of the family as well.
Now and then, we also try some new things, like attempting to recreate our new favorite dish from a local restaurant or something we experienced on vacation. Or, we’ll share something completely different that seems to be coming from out of left field.
We will post our successes as well as our failures. And, we’ll let you know what we’ve learned along the way.
Cooking is about enjoying the process as well as eating the result. So, please join us as we learn new recipes, revisit family classics from the major holidays as well as put our own new twists on old favorites.
