Italian food, history, and culture create a delicious contemporary novel.
Cary, North Carolina—Author, food journalist, and cooking instructor, Janice Therese Mancuso, believes that pizza is America’s soul food. Curious to learn why and with an interest in learning about her Italian heritage, the concept of Con Amore took hold and developed, along with 37 recipes, into a tempting tale of food, love, and life—Italian style.
Con Amore provides an overview of the popular foods of all 20 regions, with maps, of Italy. A synopsis of Italy’s history, from the Stone Age to its participation in the European Union, offers some insight into the evolution of this complex country; and accounts of its many settlers and invaders—Phoenician, Greek, Villanovan, Etruscan, Celt, Roman, Goth, Lombard, Viking, German, Arab, French, Norman, Spanish, and Austrian—allow a glimpse into Italy’s heritage.
Woven through the history and cultural lessons is a story of passion, intrigue, and honor, set in a magnificent oceanfront kitchen and filled with a mixture of characters just as diverse as the settlers and invaders of the old country.
