COOKING WITH MY SISTERS(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　“Cooking with My Sisters is the best Italian cookbook ever
written by women from the American south. Adriana Trigiani and her
sisters had the genius to unite a Southern sensibility with Italian
cooking, and the stories of the Trigiani family alone are worth the
price of admission.”
　　PAT CONROY

　　For the Trigianis, cooking has always been a family affair–and
the kitchen was the bustling center of their home, where folks
gathered around the table for good food, good conversation, and the
occasional eruption. Example: Being thrown out of the kitchen
because one’s Easter bread kneading technique isn’t up to par. As
Adriana says: “When the Trigianis reach out and touch someone, we
do it with food.” Like the recipes that have been handed down for
generations from mother to daughter and grandmother to
granddaughter, the family’s celebrations are also anchored to the
life and laughter around the table. We learn how Grandmom Yolanda
Trigiani sometimes wrote her recipes in code, or worked from
memory, guarding her recipes carefully. And we meet Grandma Lucia
Bonicelli, who never raised her voice and believed that when people
fight at the dinner table, the food turns to poison in the
body.
　　Adriana Trigiani’s voice springs to life from the first page of
Cooking with My Sisters, a collection of beloved family recipes
that the Trigianis have been enjoying for generations. But there’s
much more here than just the food. Peppered with hilarious family
anecdotes, poignant letters, and exquisite color photographs,
Cooking with My Sisters draws us into the warm and witty world of
the Trigiani clan. Each recipe has a story behind it, and each
chapter has tips from different sisters, reflecting the unique
personalities of the latest generation of Trigiani women.
　　Here are mainstay meals, featured in sections such as “The Big
Life” and “The Big Wow,” which include the chapters “Pasta, or as
We Called It, Maccheroni” and “Food We Hated as Kids but Love to
Serve Now.” Accessible to any cook, the recipes range from Chicken
and Polenta, Zizi Mary’s Rice Soup, and Gnocchi to favorite
desserts like Grandmom’s Buttermilk Cake–and all the delectable
dishes are geared toward bringing your family together.
　　Written with Adriana Trigiani’s trademark humor and verve, this
wonderful book will appeal to anyone who values the bonds that
food, community, and cultural tradition can provide.
