Hi Everybody,

When Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts takes time to review your book, it’s like winning a Cooking Oscar! WOW ! I wanted to share it with you! Here’s the link: http://lcbpghlibrary.wordpress.com/

For the cook with the sophisticated side, and an affinity for family-style Italian meals, Breaking Bread in L’Aquila is the perfect book. Maria Filice divulges an entire week of dinners which include five courses each: Antipasta, Primi Piatti, Secondi Piatti, Contorni, and Dolci. All have explanations of their original place in a family-style Italian dinner and variations that can be used to create smaller meals. Filice has planned the dishes to complement one another; however she makes it abundantly clear that picking and choosing favorites is entirely okay. Wine is an important aspect of any truly Italian dinner, and Filice makes sure to include wine suggestions, all native to Abruzzo, Italy.

Breaking Bread in L’Aquila is an organized and nostalgic book, giving Filice the opportunity to share both recipes and family tradition with the world.
