Hedy's Cookbook
"Mangia, It's Good For You!"
Every generation loses a lit bit of their heritage. They also lose a few
recipes along the way; maybe the children didn’t like a particular
dish or maybe they aren’t really into cooking. For whatever reason
something always seems to get lost and we lose bits and pieces of what used
to be. This is the very reason I wrote this cookbook, so my children and
especially my grandchildren will have a little bit of tradition from their
ancestors during the holidays.
My cookbook "Mangia, It's Good For You!" How to Cook Like an Italian for the Holidays, is a culmination of old school Neapolitan Italian recipes. It showcases many of the recipes my mother and my aunts taught me when I was a young girl. I would stand on a step stool so I could reach the stove while Mom gave me instructions. Some of these recipes I still make to this day. Of course I also know some Sicilian recipes since my grandfather came from Sicily, Italy. They were the recipes we cooked every day, on Sundays, Thanksgiving, Easter and during the Christmas holidays.
I hope you will enjoy my cookbook and these recipes. Even if you are not Italian, with this cookbook you can "Cook Like an Italian for the Holidays".

was featured in the
April, 2008 Issue of Southern
Living Magazine. She wants everyone to
know that she would never buy ready made dough or sauce but the
recipe was altered to be featured in the "Quick and Easy" section.
