A Tavola Non Si Invecchia This is an Italian expression meaning "at the table, one does not age." It goes right to the heart of the notion that the Italian meal is meant to be an experience of good feelings enjoyed with others. It is to be a source of pleasure and relaxation. This is how it was at my house growing up, listening to the sizzle of onions and fresh garlic sautéing in olive oil; inhaling the aroma of pork, meatballs, and sausage melding into my mother’s perfect tomato sauce; feeling the warmth of fresh bread in my hand as I mopped up the sauce on my plate; and joining in the laughter of my brothers, cousins, and friends as we sat down with our parents to enjoy the family meal together.
