Publisher Description
This book is dedicated to my Great Grandma Rosie. Whom with bravery and valor came across the great Atlantic sea to follow my Great Grandfather Louis, to start a new life. Great Grandfather forged ahead 10 years earlier to start a new foundation in the Americas. He was told they had gold lying along the streets. All you had to do was pick it up. Much to his dismay, and his brother Antonio’s there wasn’t any gold lining the streets. But,they were young strong men and the railroad was hiring, so they lived in a rooming house until Grandpa Louie bought a home and sent for his family ten years later.
To my beautiful Mother and endearing Aunt Jeanie who handed down her recipes. Both strong women themselves pioneering with the female energy of the time, keeping their families together with Love and Devotion. When they themselves lost their mother to mental
illness at the young age of twelve.
Being raised by my Grandfather Gabriel and Grandma Rosie to become fine Women Of the World.
Customer Reviews
I want to try EVERY recipe!
A quarter of my heritage is Italian and I've always wanted to connect with it in some way...when I read this book I realized that food is the perfect way to connect to a different culture even a different time. Now..I've been to Italy and the spaghetti sauce in this book is TO LIVE FOR! That should be the first thing you make (it's even better as left overs!!). I can't wait to try all of these recipes and share the precious information written in this book with my family. I love the author's candid personal style, it makes me feel like I'm apart of a big Italian family while I'm reading and preparing the meal. Thank you Sherilyn for letting us into your kitchen!
