Frankie Avalon's Italian Family Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: Entertainment legend Frankie Avalon has cooked his way from his mother's kitchen in South Philadelphia to Hollywood and Las Vegas. Here in his first cookbook are pitch-perfect recipes for such Italian classics as Lasagna with Sausage and Cheese, and Three-Meat Sunday Gravy with Spaghetti, as well as unexpected treasures like Dolores Hope's Antipasti Salad, Roast Pork with Fig Sauce, Annette's Roasted Onions, and Sicilian Chicken Meatballs. 

Included are all the family favorites that Frankie and his wife, Kay, regularly serve to their eight children and ten grandchildren. Weeknight meals, Sunday suppers, and holiday feasts are all covered with must-have recipes -- each one taste-tested by Avalons of all ages.nbsp;

There are mouthwatering food photographs -- plus candid shots of Frankie at home in Southern California with his family and at some of his favorite food places with pals in the old neighborhood in Philly -- tips on Italian ingredients, and more. And Frankie is a great storyteller, so delicious tales of more than five decades in show business pop up like meatballs in marinara sauce. Novice and experienced cooks will find a lot to love between these pages.
