Description
Mama D’s Old-Fashioned Italian Cooking by Giovanna D’Agostino, the only chef I know of who ran to be mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota. (She came in second.) This cookbook is a hard cover book with dust jacket, both in excellent vintage condition. Stated first edition, first printing. 166 pages. Published by Prentice Hall Press, New York, in 1989. Good, old fashioned recipes for soups, salads and antipasti, fish, chicken, meat, pasta and sauces, vegetables, eggs and rice, breads, and desserts.
At VintageCookbook.com we try to provide you with your mother’s cookbook! I know lots of current recipe bloggers write proudly that their recipes are “not from your mother’s cookbook.” We think the recipes in your mother’s cookbook provided food that was nutritious and warm and colorful and just plain yummy! We know that just looking at the cover of your mother’s Woman’s Home Companion Cook Book makes you feel good. Holding her Betty Crocker Cookbook, or her Better Homes and Gardens, or Good Housekeeping Cookbook in your hands is better than nostalgic. And cooking some of those dishes for your children will pass on a great tradition.
