Publisher's Synopsis
Where Cannoli Meet Laksa is a personal story about moving across continents, carrying your roots, and finding flavour in the unexpected.
Born and raised in Sicily, Gianni Mannino spent his early years in a world of wood-fired bread, Sunday lunches, and loud, loving family traditions.
Years later, life takes him to Singapore - a place of hawker stalls, bold spices, and fast-paced change.
Through memories, meals, and moments of culture shock, this book traces a path between two very different places.
It's about learning to cook in another language, getting lost in unfamiliar streets, and realising that home isn't just one place - it's the stories you bring with you.
Not just for food lovers, this memoir is for anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds. It's warm, sharp, sometimes funny, and always honest - like a good meal with people you've just met but feel like you've known forever.
