Each year on March 19th, Italians remember St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. It is believed that In the Middle Ages, St. Joseph's intercession saved parts of southern Italy from a severe drought. To celebrate, the Italians prepared an elaborate feast, known as La Festa di San Giuseppe, and zeppole (along with fava beans) became the signature items on the menu.

Zeppole are made with “choux pastry” that can be either baked or fried. “Choux pastry” is also used to make cream puffs, profiteroles, and éclairs. Choux contains only butter, water, flour, and eggs, and employs high moisture content to create steam while cooking to “puff” the pastry. This traditional St. Joseph’s Day dessert is then filled with pastry cream and dusted with confectionery sugar, and a cherry.

“Zeppole” are a delicious treat that can only be found this time of year. It is a common practice today to give zeppole as a gift on St. Joseph’s Day – March 19th. 🇮🇹

Riverhead student-athletes may have never faced as much adversity and as daunting a challenge as they have during the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s saying something: Riverhead interscholastic sports can be traced back at least as far as to 1898. While Long Island public schools suffered a blow when th...
