Full Description
Everyone knows Italians cook from memory! That's why this baby is so special. We sat down with our mammas and coaxed from them the secrets to all the best dishes from our childhoods (and theirs).
These pages will transport you to mamma's house with recipes that cover all the makings of a family feast - from antipasti to first, second and side courses to desserts. After many 'Ma stop guessing!' moments, we wrote it all down so we could bring you the greats. From Carmela's cotoletta to Giuseppina's chicken brodo, Angela's pasta al forno and Carlo's beloved Sicilian doughnuts - it's all here for you to recreate at home. Our mammas have even shared their smash-hit menus, the best shots from all the family albums, and advice on food and life - mamma knows best, after all.
In our families, food isn't just food. It's how we show love, how we keep the peace, and why our homes will forever be a magnet for all the relatives and uninvited guests. Welcome to the famiglia, guys.
Joe, Carlo and Andrew
