Tradizione Cook Book
My mother and I have been working on this cookbook for years now. It all started in California while I was making wine in Napa Valley. I was curious to learn more about my heritage in Italy as well as my family's beginnings in America, in the Italian neighborhoods of Smoky Hollow in Youngstown and Larimer Avenue in Pittsburgh.
While searching for more information and learning more about the regions of Italy my family came from, I realized how much food was such a huge part of the story. I also learned more about my family's history in the food and wine business which inspired me to open YOSTERIA.
Creating a family cookbook was something my family had always discussed, I felt obligated to make it happen. Growing up, Christmas and Easter were the best times of the year, and Sundays were also a constant staple. They still bring us together to this day, and it is something I intend to carry forward for years to come. The same vision that helped inspire YOSTERIA is the same vision that helped create this book - creating a sense of community through food and wine.
Stay tuned for more books in the future with various topics. I plan to share much more from my travels in Italy, Napa, New Zealand, and Croatia.
Hope you enjoy!
