GENERATIONS?OF?PIZZELLES – Jenny Monfred, left, is the mother of the Dolce Pizzelles Cookie Co. co-owners. As in most Italian families, it’s the mother’s pizzelle recipe that gets passed on to daughters and granddaughters, carrying on the old-world cookie tradition. Her daughters, Linda Freed, center, and Debra Latynski, have taken their family cookie recipe to a gourmet level with their home-based business, Dolce Pizzelles Cookie Co.
WINTERSVILLE — Just about every Italian family has a pizzelle recipe around the Tri-State Area, and just about every recipe is slightly different from every other one.
The pizzelle is a tradition, with recipes handed down from generation to generation, across the continents, the years and the kitchens.
The Dolce Pizzelles Cookie Co., a Jefferson County home-based business, seeks to take the pizzelle to a new level and to a wider audience.
The homemade goodness of the cookies made by Debra Latynski and her sister Linda Freed start with their mother Jenny Monfred.
“My sister and I were no exception,” Freed said. “We would stand at our mother’s side, watching and studying her craftsmanship. And she learned from her family. Every Italian family has a recipe, and everybody’s is unique.”
What the sisters have done is take the pizzelle to a different place.
