Book Synopsis

Original Old World recipes from the villages of Calabria in southern Italy and Aragona in Sicily comprise this cookbook for all seasons, deliciously translated for the American table. Directions are simple, good nutrition is stressed, and old, time-consuming methods of preparation are streamlined to fit today's busy schedules.

From the Back Cover

The festive recipes I have included are essentially hearty, family inspired traditional recipes. Some of these unique holiday specialties can be traced to remote villages of Italy. Many were the guarded secret of the community for generations. Others are seasonal specialties with a rich history of ancient tradition-- now expanded in the American culture by the abundance and flavor of American foods.

Each recipe is aimed at elegant simplicity, simple enough for even children to follow directions and prepare, as indeed the children of our family have demonstrated.

Simple as the preparation of these coice seasonal foods is, the elegance of serving them can make a celebration of any meal.
