If you have never read a Tessa Kiros cookbook, you are in for a treat! Her books are not only filled with delicious, authentic dishes but also stunningly gorgeous photos and lyrical snippets of life and history.
In this latest book, which she has dedicated to All of the Wonderful Matriarchs I have been Lucky to Meet, we see a decidedly feminine love story of Italy. It is a beautifully crafted celebration of Italian mothers and Italian homemaking, and you will find yourself reading the book cover to cover before even trying the mouthwatering dishes.
The recipes include everything from preserves to dinners to desserts with snippets of Wise Words throughout from the loving Italian mamas she interviewed.
This is such a special book - perfect for Mother's Day!
