A Tuscan-American Kitchen

In this delectable compilation of more than 250 recipes, authors Cassandra Vivian and Vivian Pelini Sansone return to the Immigrant's Kitchen: Italian with updated information, expanded essays and commentary within the recipes. They provide a clear delineation between Tuscan cooking methods and other regional cooking traditions along with ingredients and methodology reflecting the latest trends in the American pantry.
The authors provide fascinating background information on the Ritual Year and the connection to foods eaten during the yearly festivals. Matching recipes to cities, and translating tradition to ritual, they outline special foods included in each celebration. Filled with family anecdotes of Nonno (Grandfather) and Nonna (Grandmother), the celebrations throughout the calendar year provide a vivid connection between Italian immigrants and their treasured food traditions. Filled with illustrated, step-by-step instructions, and recipe listings in both Italian and English, encompassing everything from antipastos and salads to hearty entrees and delicate desserts, this collection of recipes and recollections provides an insightful glimpse into the Tuscan-American kitchen and an easy-to-use guidebook to the authentic Tuscan kitchen experience.
