Description - Dear Francesca: A Family Memoir of Life, Love and Cooking by Mary Contini
A deeply personal and moving family memoir crossed with a cookbook, "Dear Francesca" is a loving tribute to a family's passion for food, love and life passed down from a mother to her daughter to be shared with future generations - and all lovers of good food and good company. Interwoven with stories of her family's rich and colourful past, from their life in a mountain village in southern Italy at the turn of the century to their emigration to Scotland where their traditions were kept alive around the dinner table, along with Francesca we learn how to make everything from her grandmother's best tomato sugo for pasta to family favourites like oven roast lamb with wine and herbs to healing chicken broth, the secrets of perfect risotto, gnocchi and 'yum yum' pudding.
