Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was featured in the Kansas City Times on April 15, 1957 with a story behind the dish, as pictured in the notes. Part of it reads:
Frittata is an Italian dish distinctive of the region known as Calabria. Mrs. Santo Scavuzzo, 5001 Gladstone boulevard, whose family comes from that Italian region, explains that traditionally the men in the families prepare and serve this dish on Easter morning. Her husband's family is Sicilian. In Sicily he says, "they never heard of frittata," but he proudly carries on the tradition every Easter.
"I can't even get in the kitchen on Easter," Mrs. Scavuzzo smiled, "but I prepare frittata on any other occasions during the year."
