Description
This is a book about food. Beautiful, wonderful, delicious food. Italians are well-known for their love affair with food. They shape their lives around it. They grow it themselves, or they forage for it. They spend hours shopping for it--going to only the best grocers. They hold the fruits in their hands, they squeeze them, they smell them. They only want the best. They cook with a passion and they share their magic with everyone...friends and strangers, alike, are included at their family tables. And no one can resist an Italian dish! Italians celebrate food on ordinary days but especially during their holidays...at births, at marriages and even at deaths. This little book is the story of Niagara Falls' early Italians and the culinary habits they brought to America from Italy.
