Mangia Bene! : The Italian-American Family Cookbook Book

Four years in the making, Mangia Bene! is a loving tribute to a young woman's grandmother, whose family immigrated to America from Italy some 100 years ago. The combination of recipes will not be found in any cookbook, as it is a mixture of home-style Italian family recipes and the various augmentations made to them as the family grew. It offers new family recipes of all ethnic varieties brought into the mix by means of marriages, travels, friends, and experiences. Appealing to all ages and levels of cooking, the book is further enhanced with family stories and traditions, giving the reader a real sense of growing up in an American Italian household.
