Making Tomato Paste in Sicily
I've been clearing out my 10 years of cooking magazines, culling recipes, etc. This is one of my favorite photos from Saveur, I thought I had lost it but the issue magically appeared in a heap on my library desk. Given the weather we have been having lately I think we could try this at home, but these ladies are making tomato paste in Sicily. The house dress and wedge shoes are reminiscent of my Italian Grandmother Olga.
Just makes me giggle to think of what the FDA would say about that. Very interesting picture- thanks for sharing!

Love this picture! This is so funny because I am currently sewing a "house dress". I remember my grandma always wearing one.

Looks like how we used to make mud pies when I was a kid.
