This book is about living a healthy lifestyle and the delicious Mediterranean foods that can help promote that! My Nonno lived to be 101 years old eating the recipes from this book and his cooking was so good you could smell it from the driveway. His philosophy regarding food was to keep it fresh and keep it simple! So, whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your health or simply take your cooking to the next level, I invite you to try these lovine family recipes-born of the Italian countryside, lovingly carried across the Atlantic Ocean and perfected in New York City.
