Dalla quarta di copertina: Little Italy is as much a state of mind as a geographic location. Even those of us not born Italian can feel Italian for a little while when we cook Little Italy-style. It's about cooking with love and pride. It's about making soul-satisfying meals for family and friends. It's about using ingenuity to transform a few humble ingredients into sublime creations.
