"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:
The easiest way to turn over the pie is to use two flat plates and two spatulas. Lift the pie out of the pan using both spatulas an place it on one of the flat plates. Take the other plate and lay it on top of the pie. With the pie now sandwiched between the two plates, flip the plates over and place on the counter. (Now the cooked side of the pie should be face up.). Using the spatulas, lift the pie and place back in the pan. Cook the other side until golden brown.
