Publisher's Synopsis
In this sequel to her bestselling debut cookbook, 'Italian Moms: Spreading Their Art to Every Table', Costantini serves up more than 150 recipes, some influenced by her childhood in Abruzzo and others reinvented classic dishes that pay homage to newer generations of Italian-Americans. After her first book, Elisa received dozens of emails from readers asking her to identify recipes they remembered from childhood, but were unable to find. Elisa, with her profound understanding and love of Italian culinary traditions and ingredients, painstakingly reconstructed these beloved dishes from letters, notes and memories - and developed many new ones, too. Her food, from antipasti to desserts, brings together family and friends, young and old, to the table to honour great food, traditions and, most of all, each other's company.
