Product Description
Product Description
Four years in the making, Mangia Bene! is a loving tribute to a young woman's grandmother, whose family immigrated to America from Italy some 100 years ago. The combination of recipes will not be found in any cookbook, as it is a mixture of home-style Italian family recipes and the various augmentations made to them as the family grew. It offers new family recipes of all ethnic varieties brought into the mix by means of marriages, travels, friends, and experiences. Appealing to all ages and levels of cooking, the book is further enhanced with family stories and traditions, giving the reader a real sense of growing up in an American Italian household.

Great recipe selection, great results,

This review is from: Mangia Bene!: The Italian American Family Cookbook (Paperback)
"Mangia Bene" is a collection of recipes garnered over the years from the Devivo family. The recipe sources include the author's grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins, and in-laws. The book covers everything from traditional Italian dishes such as bruschetta, pinzimonio, wedding soup, and minestrone, to a wonderful section on pizzas and pastas, to recipes like hot wings that are hardly Italian but still excellent. All of the recipes have easy to follow instructions and delicious results. Throughout the book are various tips, background information on the recipes, and family stories that make you feel at home with Kate Devivo and her family. "Manga Bene!" is a highly recommended book of traditional Italian recipes along with some popular more American ones thrown in.

great recipes for the home cook,

This review is from: Mangia Bene!: The Italian American Family Cookbook (Paperback)
I thought that I would never make my own pizza with homemade dough and sauce, but because the pizza recipes in this cookbook seemed easy enough for the home cook, I gave one of the recipes (Grandma's Pizza) a try. The pizza was absolutely delicious! My family enjoyed it and said they preferred it to takeout pizza. The pizza was healthy too because it needed only a light sprinkling of cheese. This book is a wonderful collection of family recipes. Perfect for the home cook who likes Italian-American food.

Delicious Food, Great Stories!,

This review is from: Mangia Bene!: The Italian American Family Cookbook (Paperback)
Author Kate Devivo has compiled her family recipes, primarily handed down from her grandmother, in this lovely cookbook. The recipes were originally authentic Italian, but have been "Americanized" by the author's family. Therefore, the recipes and tastes are new and interesting. After looking through this book, you feel like part of Kate Devivo's family.If you are looking for a cookbook with interesting, good, new recipes, get this book!
