The Italian Daughter’s Cookbook is an ode to authentic Calabrese cuisine. In this captivating journey through the vibrant and often undiscovered southern regions of Italy, Cathy Coluccio Fazzolari—daughter of the pioneer purveyor of high end and top quality Italian foods in New York City D. Coluccio & Sons—welcomes readers into her family’s kitchen.

Through heartfelt familial memories, authentic Calabrese recipes (both with the traditional chili peppers and without), and tantalizing images by Feast of the Seven Fishes author Daniel Paterna, the eclectic essence of Calabrese food comes alive.
