Janet Fletcher, food writer, says, "Growing up in Texas, where onions were big and tastes were conservative, I guarantee you that cipolline onions were never on the dinner menu. But every generation needs to add its own touch to the traditional Thanksgiving feast, and this Cal-Italian touch is my contribution."
