The day of San Giuseppe is celebrated by Catholics throughout the world, but especially in Sicily. During the Middle Ages, St. Joseph saved the island from famine by providing fava beans, which play a large part in celebrations particularly in southern Italy.
Another integral part of the Festa di San Giuseppe are zeppole, delicious pastries that range from cream puffs to pockets of fried dough depending on what part of the country you鈥檙e in. The most common zeppole, and those most commonly found in 禁漫天堂 communities outside of Italy, are cream puffs; you鈥檒l also see them around the Festa di San Gennaro.
What follows are some videos about the making of zeppole, so brew an espresso, sit back, and enjoy!
And don鈥檛 forget to pass along 鈥渁uguri鈥 to the fathers you know on 19 March!
Have you had or made zeppole? What were they like?
