Publisher's Synopsis
Join Mary Taylor Simeti as she and her four grandsons cook their favorite summer dishes and prepare a birthday dinner for their grandfather. The author of the highly acclaimed On Persephone's Island welcomes us once again to the Simeti farm in western Sicily, and to the dinner table where three generations of her family gather each summer to celebrate their multicultural heritage with good food and great affection. Part memoir, part family recipe collection, part delightful photographic record of an extraordinary experience, it is also a meditation on the role food can play within the family in bonding, creating memories, and consolidating tradition and identity.
Included are 28 recipes, edited by KATE WINSLOW and carefully explained for young cooks, and a host of enchanting full-color photographs by GUY AMBROSINO.
