Recipes rooted in memory
More than a story
A place, a life,
a seat at the table.
Some memories begin with a landscape. Others return with the smell of something cooking. Domenico’s debut brings both to the page: an honest account of growing up in Italy and finding a life in the United States.
Food with roots.
Authentic family cooking, shaped by what the farm grew. Recipes appear throughout the chapters, beside the memories they belong to.
Inside the book
An Italy less told.
A personal window into a little-known region of Italy, seen through the everyday life, family traditions, and food of someone raised there.

An author’s note · Why I began
When my grandchildren asked how I grew up, I wanted to give them more than a few stories. I wanted to share the place, the life, and the food that made me.
