To be updated with more information

The 3rd Edition of our Abruzzo family cookbook is in print!

We have several books from the first printing still in stock but will do another print if we receive enough orders.

Here are some of the remarks we have received from people who have already bought the book. Many of them were contributors as well.

What a marvelous effort by you and your compatriots. Irene, our grandson delivered the two copies and he could hardly carry them given their weight. I have sent one copy to my sister, Dolores. Having visited her last month, she will be absolutely delighted, along with her husband. It brought back memories almost forgotten, and the tales of others triggered more memories. Canada is so much the better for the Italian immigrants and their offspring. The first reaction was disbelief at the standard you have set. The second was the pleasure of reading by so many contributors. ... Gary Del Villano

This is a FANTASTIC piece of work!!! … George Marini

…I haven’t stopped reading since it arrived. The stories are fascinating. My grandfather Nicola Emanuele, in Dan Emanuele’s story is the cousin who wanted to move to California to grow grapes and start a winery. Also, I enjoyed Barry Ciccone’s story and fortunately for me I did know his grandparents when they lived on Pender Island.

I am disappointed that I did not contribute to your book as I have pictures from way back, a few stories and some recipes to share. … Ann Egan

I got the hard copies just before I went to Timmins on the 18th for my mom's birthday. The book was a hit with my aunt. She's usually very hard to please but while I was with her, she didn't put it down. My brother got his copy too and really enjoyed it. ... Mark Del Monte

The book is beautiful and the stories very moving. ... Louise De Luca

The book is lovely. Thank you again for all your hard work along with the others, it's a wonderful keepsake and am looking forward to trying some of these recipes and to read more stories. ... Carlene San Martin (Ciccone)

Received... opened and flicked to the end to be sure it was ok. Will be reading in the coming weeks. Thanks so much! (Looks GREAT) …. Sam T.

The book is available in two ways .... and will be sent you after I have received your payment.
