Peter Francis Battaglia
From the earliest age I can remember, the sights, smells, and preparation of food were the most amazing things I could imagine. As an adult, when I was able to pair it up with traveling, the experience was even better. I trained at the heels of my mom, and all of my grandparents. The grandparents were all born in Southern Italy, and brought to this country their love of family, well prepared food, and traditions which we still celebrate today. I have been a Salestrader on Wall Street for almost 29 years and this career has given me the opportunity to sample the cities, towns, cultures and foods of the regional United States. Our family has traveled extensively throughout the world: Central America, the Caribbean, Much of Europe, Africa, China, Fiji, Tahiti and BoraBora, Australia, Samoa, New Zealand, all over Canada...For a period of time in the 90's I was the Chef-Proprietor of an off-premise catering company at the Jersey Shore. My passion is making people smile, teaching, sharing, and learning how to produce the foods of this world and re-create them on your table. My wife of 27 years, and my two children don't ever get tired of my preparing meals for them. I hope I can do the same for you!!! A Food Obsession is the perfect name for my blog for I am obsessed with everything about food.

CHRISTMAS MORNING FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

Maybe it's the time of the year...just after the longest and darkest day in the calendar that
forever Man has been celebrating the spark of light and life. Christmas has such magic
attatched to it...for people of all beliefs, it's an excuse for us all to behave ourselves and
take care of each other and ourselves.
Before I sit down to eat and feast with my family today, I want to wish everyone, regard-
less of your beliefs, the best of the Peace of this season. A heartfelt thank you for making
the blog a success and for following it!
Peace, Love, and Joy...
