In the footsteps of Nonna

Everyone wants to be Italian: Italian food is more than delicious ; it's a rich cultural heritage. Guided by author Bill Abruzzo, travel through the regions of Calabria, Lazio, Campania, and Sicily, explore the many ways culinary traditions are connected to each region's history and tradition with easy-to-use recipes and personal anecdotes. Antipasti (Appetizers), Pane (Breads), Zuppe (Soups), Pasta, Cose Dolce (Desserts), and Liquori (Liqueurs) form more than a mere meal: these dishes are your passport. A special section on growing Italian ingredients and stocking your Italian pantry means great tastes and great stories are never farther away than your own kitchen.
