mother to daughter in the kitchen to the
page for the first time.
You will find home-cooked Southern
Italian food for cooks of all skill levels.
Recipes for pasta dough, sauces and
antipastos, desserts from cannoli to
tiramisu, and mains from roasts to
pizza share space with stories about
homemade red wine (that sometimes
ended up as red wine vinegar) and
dinners delayed until the whole family
could be there.
Illustrated with warm, full-page photos,
Per La Famiglia is a window unto the
culinary life of a boisterous, loving
family.
