My Thoughts
When I saw this, I wanted to read it purely for my own childhood memories, of my Italian grandfather who was still cooking when his parents and older brother immigrated in 1921 to New Jersey. Yeah, I’m an Italian girl from the Jersey Shore, where my Italian grandfather would cook Sunday dinner and his three daughters, their respective families would gather, talk, eat, drink his homemade wine, and watch tv after (and not cable either).
This is New York and Jersey Italian American cooking and it’s beautifully presented with photos of the food, as well as the author and her grandmother, the recipes, and her grandmother’s memories. It’s all lovely and enjoyable to read, for the stories along with the recipes.
The contents include homemade pasta and sauces, antipasto, soup and salad, sides, pasta entrees, non-pasta entrees, treats (garlic knots, focaccia, etc.), sweets, cookies, and drinks. The instructions are written out concisely.
Having grown up eating like this, I really appreciated this cookbook.
