"Next to their love of God and patron saints, especially St. Joseph, Italians are known for their love of food."
After decades of collecting stories and recipes from Italian immigrants throughout Louisiana, Nancy Wilson shares her findings in this spirited and multifaceted collection of Italian food and folkways. Undertaken as a way to preserve her children's Italian heritage and inspired by her mother-in-law, a first-generation Italian American, Wilson presents cultural traditions and anecdotes alongside lively personal commentary and historical and cultural facts.
Included here are authentic, user-friendly recipes ranging from Mama's Italian Bread to eggplant casserole, homemade wines, olive salads, codfish balls, osso bucco, St. Joseph's Day breadcrumbs, biscotti, and more. Wilson also includes a glossary and an illustrated how-to for making your own mud oven to bake authentic Italian bread. This collectable volume, as full of heart as it is handy tips and humorous recollections, will appeal to cultural historians as well as lovers of traditional Italian fare.
