4.9/5 (31861 ratings)

Description:Authentic Italian is revolutionizing the way we think about Italian food and culture. Changing perceptions and challenging the media’s portrayal of Italian food, this book is reclaiming Italian cuisine for the Italian immigrants who popularized it. In the same vein as Michael Twitty's Cooking Gene and Sean Sherman's Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen. Experience what Primo magazine calls a "must-read."Just when you thought you knew everything about Italian food, the world's most popular cuisine, in comes Authentic Italian, a book by a food writer and lawyer, who brings a new perspective on the much loved cuisine. With meticulous research, Di Maio critically examines Italian food as it has been defined by the food media and celebrity chefs. In this enlightening book, she also explores how Italian immigrants shaped the culinary landscape of America.Pizza and spaghetti and meatballs are two of the most loved foods brought by Italian immigrants. But the new message is that true pizza comes from Naples and spaghetti and meatballs is not Italian. Who says so? The question is--who gets to define Italian food? Governments to drum up business for a failing economy? Corporations to strengthen their own bottom line? Academics who rely on books and statistics out of touch with the true culture? Celebrity chefs with books to sell and restaurants to fill? Di Maio offers the novel argument that the definition of Italian food belongs to the Italian people, the immigrants who carried it with them all over the world and created successful food businesses wherever they went.Not without controversy, Di Maio doesn't shy away from discussing the harsh reality of a war-torn Southern Italy to expose what the immigrant generation really went through before they were forced to make the journey overseas. And she also details what they found in their new countries abroad, hardly a road paved with gold.Follow Di Maio on this culinary journey as she evokes the spirit of justice that the immigrant generation held dear. She tells the story of the Italian people as if her ancestors were there, whispering it in her ear: No matter what the popular food media states, the recipes, foods and traditions of the Italian-American people are nothing less than authentic Italian.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
