For the Trigianis, cooking has always been a family affair–and the kitchen was the bustling center of their home, where folks gathered around the table for good food, good conversation, and the occasional eruption. Example: Being thrown out of the kitchen because one’s Easter bread kneading technique isn’t up to par. As Adriana says: “When the Trigianis reach out and touch someone, we do it with food.” Like the recipes that have been handed down for generations from mother to daughter and grandmother to granddaughter, the family’s celebrations are also anchored to the life and laughter around the table. We learn how Grandmom Yolanda Trigiani sometimes wrote her recipes in code, or worked from memory, guarding her recipes carefully. And we meet Grandma Lucia Bonicelli, who never raised her voice and believed that when people fight at the dinner table, the food turns to poison in the body.

Adriana Trigiani’s voice springs to life from the first page of Cooking with My Sisters, a collection of beloved family recipes that the Trigianis have been enjoying for generations. But there’s much more here than just the food. Peppered with hilarious family anecdotes, poignant letters, and exquisite color photographs, Cooking with My Sisters draws us into the warm and witty world of the Trigiani clan. Each recipe has a story behind it, and each chapter has tips from different sisters, reflecting the unique personalities of the latest generation of Trigiani women.

Here are mainstay meals, featured in sections such as “The Big Life” and “The Big Wow,” which include the chapters “Pasta, or as We Called It, Maccheroni” and “Food We Hated as Kids but Love to Serve Now.” Accessible to any cook, the recipes range from Chicken and Polenta, Zizi Mary’s Rice Soup, and Gnocchi to favorite desserts like Grandmom’s Buttermilk Cake–and all the delectable dishes are geared toward bringing your family together.

Written with Adriana Trigiani’s trademark humor and verve, this wonderful book will appeal to anyone who values the bonds that food, community, and cultural tradition can provide.

Review

“Cooking with My Sisters is the best Italian cookbook ever written by women from the American south. Adriana Trigiani and her sisters had the genius to unite a Southern sensibility with Italian cooking, and the stories of the Trigiani family alone are worth the price of admission.”
–PAT CONROY

From the Hardcover edition.

About the Author

ADRIANA TRIGIANI is an award-winning playwright, television writer, and documentary filmmaker. The author of the bestselling novels Big Stone Gap, Big Cherry Holler, Milk Glass Moon, Lucia, Lucia, and The Queen of the Big Time, Trigiani has written the screenplay for the movie Big Stone Gap, which she will also direct. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter.

MARY TRIGIANI is a consultant and lecturer on issues driving authenticity in leadership. An expert message crafter -- for business leaders just-crowned to well-seasoned -- Mary's own message emerges in the new book she has written with her sister, bestselling novelist Adriana Trigiani. COOKING WITH MY SISTERS: ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF FAMILY RECIPES FROM BARI TO BIG STONE GAP, a memoir/cookbook, is a true story about the power of cooking to nourish and sustain the traditions of an Italian-American family aimed at leaving the world a better place. Mary shows how a visit back to unvarnished family experiences and values can help unearth one’s authentic voice -- something Mary believes is essential not only to effective communicating but to compelling leadership as well. She lives in San Francisco.

So much more than a book of recipes

I love all of Adriana's books and this one didn't disappoint. Mixed in between all the great recipes were pictures of her family and sisters. The sisters all add their notes and hints at the way they do things now in relation to their recipes. Most of all I enjoyed reading about the impact on their lives from their hardworking tenacious and grateful grandparents. This is so much more than a book of recipes.

Mangia MIA!!!! This book is funny, informative and makes you feel like you joined the Trigiani clan around the Sunday table waiting to be fed. Pull up an Apron, put on Sinatra pot a glass of wine and get cooking.

Not what I expected to contain. It’s hard to buy a cookbook sight unseen. I returned for full refund.

This is not a true cookbook but it is interesting. If you are a fan of the author you will enjoy the behind the scenes family tidbits. If you are looking for new recipes to try for entertaining there are better choices.

Memories.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

A neighbor loaned me this book and I was hooked. I then ordered four copies; one for myself and one for each of my daughters. I wanted them to know what it was like during my childhood. The receipes and the gatherings were almost exactly the same as in the book. Some of the receipes I recall from my mother and my favorite aunt who always did the holiday cooking together. We were never less than 30 people; adults at the dining table (very large) and the children in the kitchen within earshot. A great book not only for the memories but also for the great meals.
