This was an absolutely delightful Italian & Italian-American cookbook, featuring the iconic Nonna Gracie. Nonna Gracie's story was both eye-opening and shared in detail about how she was raised in Southern Italy, from learning to cook, meeting her husband, eventually moving to America, and more. The recipes were filled with precious memories and delightful taste, which I look forward to trying to after I can get more family members around. The small notes and details added to the top of recipes were a nice addition. Overall, this was a great cookbook featuring mouthwatering recipes from the sweet and delightful Nonna Gracie.
