"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

This is one of Brian's favorite desserts. It was not easy but finally I think this is as close to Nana's original as I could get.
