Kiki's Kitchen

Kiki's Kitchen My name is Gloria Anselmo. I'm a full blooded Italian girl who loves to cook! “Kiki” is a nickname my mother gave me as a little girl. Buon Appetito!

This site is dedicated to her memory. She taught me to love to cook and work in the kitchen, always keeping our Italian traditions alive, and passing it on to my children and future generations. I grew up spending most of my life in an Italian community and spending my summers in Italy! The food in Italy is unbelievable, full of fresh flavors! I enjoy taking classes and learning from the great Non

na’s of a generation gone by bringing back to life the art of cooking and feeding family and friends. I am following in my mother’s footsteps of cooking simple, fresh, and rustic food, by using the freshest, seasonal ingredients and allowing their flavors to come alive. These recipes and classes teach you to become connected with your food, knowing where it comes from and what is put into each recipe. They are healthy and fresh, and most of all, delicious! Balance is the key to life! I look forward to teaching, sharing and getting to know you! Welcome to Kiki's Kitchen..

I should rename my page as Kiki’s Kitchen and MORE!! Not only do I bake, cook, and sew ( soon to add pics of those to show you my creations)
I’m also a self taught refurbisher and so while I’m making my ginger bug and fermented vegetables I’ve decided to repurpose an old piece I picked up on Craigslist! And decided to show you the progress
2020 changed the world with Covid and I was in transition moving and had no furniture!! So Craigslist and marketplace ( since I love old furniture) was my shopping store and with the degree from You Tube University I found this amazing paint that doesn’t require a base coat and can paint over Formica etc!!
I love it!!
I set up my hair salon while experimenting painting the furniture as everything was closed!

So today is our second day of painting this beautiful piece to match a color my italian grandma had in her home! I don’t remember Luisa Carlesimo but my mom had saved a piece of this color blue from her home that got demolished in Italy it’s been a color that brings warmth to my heart keeps my mom and grandma close to me!!

We’ve got a couple more days to go but thought I’d bring you all along on the process!💕
