Meatballs and Memories: Stories and Recipes From Families on The Hill
5 Great reasons to buy from us:
Meatballs and Memories is more than a mere cookbook. It’s a collective memoir of “The Hill”, the close-knit Italian community in St. Louis, Missouri, told through - wait for it - Food! Almost every recipe comes with a tale of its own: a tradition, a reminiscence, a commentary. Many of the recipes date back to the original Italian immigrants who settled in the neighborhood at the turn of the twentieth century. The descendants of those immigrants who contributed to this book tell of still making those same recipes, often with the original equipment, as a tribute to their grandparents and great-grandparents. And what recipes! They range from a simple Pesto, made with basil from the backyard garden to a two-day production of Polenta Rustida for 30 guests. There is gnocchi, handmade macaroni, and of course, meatballs. Family traditions grew up around Easter Bread, Christmas Panettone, and Cassata Cake. Photographs -- some snapshots and some family heirlooms - illustrate the charming narratives. Truly more than a cookbook, Meatballs and Memories is a love song to a still-vibrant community and a way of life.
