From the Publisher
In this delightful book, cookbook author Mary Contini tells the story of the Di Ciacca family, tracing their journey from the barren Abruzzi mountains to the chilly streets of postwar Edinburgh. Addressing her daughter Francesca as she embarks on independent life, Contini poignantly recounts her ancestors’ lives in their adopted land, where traditions were kept alive around the dinner table. Blending narrative skill with recipes and recollections, this is one of the most original books for food lovers in recent years. Mary Contini is a partner in Valvona and Crolla, a famous Italian delicatessen in Edinburgh.
From the Inside Flap
