Chuck with a sheet of dishes in the Mortadella Head kitchen

Sunday dinner, the way I grew up

Growing up, the sauce simmered for hours, the meatballs were rolled by hand, and there was always enough food at the table for a few more people.

That's what we cook at Mortadella Head. Same recipes I use for my family. No shortcuts. We make it, we freeze it, we ship it to you.

I get emails from so many people telling me it's better than homemade. Try it and let me know what you think.

Make it nice! — Chuck
