In our family, my father made the wine (actually, Mom made the wine and Dad took the credit), and my mom made the vinegar and baked bread in an outdoor oven. Their lifestyle grew directly out of their land and what it produced. They ate what they could as it ripened, and preserved the rest. Food — its cultivation, preservation, and preparation — centered our family life."
