Book Description
In this entertaining and delightful mystery, an Italian chef and her cousins start their own investigation to clear their grandmother’s name after she’s arrested for murder. At Miracolo Northern Italian restaurant, one can savor brilliantly seasoned veal saltimbocca, or luscious risotto alla milanese, but no cannoli. Never cannoli. Maria Pia Angelotta, the spirited seventy-six-year-old owner of the Philadelphia-area eatery that’s been in her family for four generations, has butted heads with her head chef over the cannoli ban more than once. And when the head chef is your own granddaughter, things can get a little heated. Fortunately, Eve Angelotta knows how to handle what her nonna dishes out. But when Maria Pia’s boyfriend is found dead in Miracolo’s kitchen, bludgeoned by a marble mortar, the question arises: Can a woman this fiery and stubborn over cream-filled pastry be capable of murder? The police seem to think so, and they put the elder Angelotta behind bars, while Eve, sexy neighborhood attorney Joe Beck, and the entire Miracolo family—parenti di sangue and otherwise—try every trick in the cookbook to unravel a tangle of lies and expose a killer.

Book Description
In this second cozy mystery series that started with You Cannoli Die Once, a chef and her cousins launch their own investigation when a new sous chef turns up dead in their Italian restaurant. When Chef Eve Angelotta’s grandmother, Maria Pia, is invited to join Belfiere, a secret all-female Italian culinary society, Eve is concerned. Rumor has it that membership is lifelong—whether you like it or not. Eve and her cousin Landon try to research Belfiere, but all they come up with is a two-year-old blog entry warning against the two-hundred-year-old society that centers around meals inspired by famous female poisoners. Soon after, Eve’s new sous chef turns up dead just inside the front door of Miracolo, Eve’s restaurant. When they discover the sous chef had connections to Belfiere, Eve and her Italian cousins start a mission to find out what happened—before Maria Pia is made an offer she can’t refuse.

ISBN: 1439126518
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
A wickedly funny collection of personal essays from popular NPR personality Sarah Vowell. Hailed by Newsweek as a "cranky stylist with talent to burn," Vowell has an irresistible voice -- caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged -- that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on This American Life. While tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears. Take the Cannoli is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns.

Book Description
I love everything about being Italian...the food, the music, the beautiful people, the scenery. This book will give you a glimpse into what life as an Italian is like. I'm not a TRUE Italian. My father was American, and my mom is directly from Napoli, so I'm half Italian. You take the best part of being Italian, the best part of being American, put them together and you get ME.Italians are hospitable. I remember hanging out at construction sites when I was a kid. When the men were on break, they enjoyed teasing me and sharing some of their sandwiches with me. Italian sandwiches are the best. They are made on crispy Italian bread, none of this limp white bread we like to use in America. Get a group of Italians together and they will all seem to be talking at once. It's not rudeness...it's passion for what they believe in. If you feel uncomfortable hugging or holding hands, you best learn to overcome that.Anyone who is even part Italian will recognize some of these stories. I hope you will laugh, cry, and eat more delicious pasta. Speaking of pasta, I will share some things from my past-a, but this book is also about the present-a and future-a. First generation Italians sometimes talk a little funny. Here's an example of something my mom would say..."I'm-a having-a da pasta for pasta Sunday-a night-a." Most people would hear that and wonder what was wrong, or they might even call the police, but my sister and I know that it means the pastor (pasta) is coming over for dinner (pasta) on Sunday.Sometimes Italian food tastes better the next day as leftovers. Mom liked to say the spices got married and had babies. It makes sense to me! Mangia!James DivinePS. Do you like tiramisu for dessert? It's one of my favorite desserts and is SO expensive at a restaurant, but it is easy and cheap to make! I didn't include a recipe in the book because it is something I just recently learned to make. It's not "my own" yet. I encourage you to look it up and try it.Good storytellers are like good cooks. They know how to spice things up...Fannie Mae Duncan

Pages : 448
Book Description
This “wickedly pacey page-turner” (Total Film) unfurls the behind-the-scenes story of the making of The Godfather, fifty years after the classic film’s original release. The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told—sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others to write “the definitive look at the making of an American classic” (Library Journal, starred review). On top of the usual complications of filmmaking, the creators of The Godfather had to contend with the real-life members of its subject matter: the Mob. During production of the movie, location permits were inexplicably revoked, author Mario Puzo got into a public brawl with an irate Frank Sinatra, producer Al Ruddy’s car was found riddled with bullets, men with “connections” vied to be in the cast, and some were given film roles. As Seal notes, this is the tale of a “movie that revolutionized filmmaking, saved Paramount Pictures, minted a new generation of movie stars, made its struggling author Mario Puzo rich and famous, and sparked a war between two of the mightiest powers in America: the sharks of Hollywood and the highest echelons of the Mob.” “For fans of books about moviemaking, this is a definite must-read” (Booklist).

Along came COVID-19. NO more cooking classes, lockdowns for months at a time. Well, I did what I loved doing and kept on cooking. I started writing recipes and photographing the dishes that I had made, often sharing with my elderly neighbours. It was very therapeutic, cooking kept me sane. Suddenly I found myself with a great selection of new recipes and some wonderful photographs and so, after many requests I have written my fifth book "Dolce e Salato - Sweet & Savoury Volume 2" My fifth book combines both modern and traditional sweet and savoury recipes from Italy and Australia. My fifth book differs from my previous books by including many more step-by-step photographs. To make room for the step-by-step photographs my recipes are in English only.
