Over 500 tasty, simple and fast recipes for food lovers. Collecting recipes is a family tradition. Many of those found in this book were given to me in an old notebook, written in Italian and in the Triestine dialect by my mother and grandmother. My work has led me to live in Brussels, Philadelphia and London, and the flavors of these cosmopolitan cities mingle in the pages of this book with those of Trieste, Verona and Milan in my native northern Italy.
