Don Cimorelli is a second-generation Italian American whose grandparents immigrated to the USA from the Campania & Molise regions of Italy. He grew up in a traditional Italian American home where classic Southern Italian cuisine was a staple ranging from pasta, vegetable, meat, and fish dishes. The typical weekly Sunday Dinner and endless courses of food on holidays were a trademark of his upbringing. Primarily inspired by his mom, Anna Cimorelli, his approach to cooking is best described as Italian American Family Style. Enter Don’s home and you will quickly learn that there is no such thing as cooking for one person or only for one meal. Preparing meals for family and friends is his passionate hobby along with sharing recipes and foodie photos. Don refers to himself as “The Family Style Italian Cook.” Don currently serves as President of the Triangle Sons & Daughters of Italy.
