Cooking For My Family

About the Book

"Dinner was the time we all sat together and enjoyed Mom's cooking, but it was also the place we discussed the day, argued, laughed and basically caught up with each other. One thing Mom and Dad taught us was that "no one" ate before the other. We always waited for each other and we all waited for Dad to sit down to start. What I remember the most was how good everything tasted. With a limited amount of money Mom created an abundance of easy, ethnic, earthy and Italian dishes. I have written this book for her and it is my hope that you will enjoy cooking her recipes as much as she loved Cooking For Her Family."

About the Author

My experience in the culinary arena started with home cooking, catering, and competing in food and chili contests. I have been writing since age 15 and was the head writer for the Northeast column of the ICS news in 2002. Having won numerous awards, I credit my mother, Catherine Pasculli, for her inspiration, and giving me a jump start in the fine art of cooking ? This book is dedicated to her, to my Dad and to all the generations before and after them ? Tiamo.
