"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:
Have made this many times. I have made adjustments to the original copy cat recipe to make it taste more authentic, based on comments of friends and family. Doubled the Lemon Caper Sauce and Sherry Vinaigrette amounts - at Jan's request and I think it made it better Sept 19 2023 for Bill and Deb.
