"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This recipe is a recollection of the tasty Tourtierre my mother used to make. She never wrote down a recipe--cooked simply from memory. It is a very old recipe--dates back to the 1920's. I have a lot of fond memories making them with her.
