Hedy’s Cookbook: “Mangia, It’s Good For You!”
My aunts and grandmother never measured ingredients, relying on eye and taste. Over the years, I broke down their recipes into measurements for my children and family, ensuring these traditional Italian dishes wouldn’t be lost.
Preserving family traditions is crucial, yet each generation risks losing a bit of their heritage, often through the disappearance of beloved recipes. Children might not develop a taste for certain dishes or may simply not enjoy cooking, causing these traditions to fade. This concern inspired me to create “Mangia, It’s Good For You!”—a cookbook designed to ensure my children and grandchildren continue to savor the flavors of their ancestral heritage during the holidays.
“Mangia, It’s Good For You! How to Cook Like an Italian for the Holidays” is a heartfelt collection of timeless Neapolitan Italian recipes. These are the very dishes my mother and aunts taught me when I was a young girl, standing on a step stool to reach the stove as my mom guided me through each step. These recipes are still a staple in my kitchen today. Additionally, my grandfather’s Sicilian heritage enriches this collection with traditional Sicilian recipes that we enjoyed daily and on special occasions like Sundays, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas.
I hope this cookbook brings the same joy and deliciousness to your family as it has to mine. Whether you have Italian roots or not, you can “Cook Like an Italian for the Holidays” with these treasured recipes.
