Along with a banquet of his favorite Sicilian recipes, Chef Thomas takes us on a nostalgic visit to the heart of Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island of the 1960's, in this delightful Heirloom Cookbook you will treasure. Through photos and tales, we fall in love with Grandpa Renda and the Sicilian American heritage, their culture and their contributions to the culinary delights we enjoy today. Tucked between the pages of this charming book is the story of one man's abiding love and admiration for his Grandpa Renda and the incredible influence that love had on his life.
