Come discover - or rediscover - with us the joy of authentic Calabrese cooking, which brings back loving childhood memories. Cathy grew up with the recipes of her mother, Maria, who was from Calabria, specifically from Marina di Gioiosa in the Province of Reggio Calabria. As a child, she watched her mother make these delicious dishes but, like women of the time, they never wrote anything down. So, Cathy took it upon herself to reproduce these recipes and went about duplicating the tastes of the food she grew up with. This cookbook is a loving tribute to her dear mother and a dedication to her husband and children for their support throughout the process. The Italian Daughter's Cookbook is a love letter to her Calabrian Heritage. If you are Calabrese, the cookbook will bring you back to your childhood with the many delicious recipes. In one of these recipes ---- Tomato sauce with Soppressata ---- Cathy demonstrates how to make a pasta dish for dinner after a long day at work ----- a comfort food that won't take hours to prepare.
