Ziz's Cook Book: An Italian American Dad's Guide to Cooking with Love & Tradition: Mangia! Buon Appetito! Enjoy!
By: Chris Zizza
About the Book
Proud Italian American father Chris Zizza aims to keep family traditions alive through his love of cooking. Zizza’s recipes come from the heart, written as if you’re speaking with your Italian grandparents and learning their recipes (sometimes with trial and error since they never wrote anything down!) as their parents taught them.
Food is a source of human life, but it is also a cultural bind to connect us with your heritage and sharing a meal with family and friends connects us with not only the past but the present. Zizza’s delicious recipes and corresponding photos are easily followed for any cook, from beginner to experienced, so other families can find the same connection to their roots and enjoy some incredible home cooked food in the process. Mangia! BuonAppetito! Enjoy!
