Get to know a real Italian American family and some of their favorite meals! Some unusual ones - like Pork and Beans and Macaroni - are included. This is a book where the chef's personality really comes across, and the author invites you to share some laughs with his very close-knit family. You may have a mother or grandmother just like Carmella! You'll also get to see photos of Italy taken by the author during his trip in October 2011.
