From back cover:

"Anthropologist Phyllis Passariello and her late brother, psychologist Neil Passariello, have compiled a collection of family recipes presented with a running, ethnographic commentary, which is both humorous and insightful. In the format of family stories, the Passariellos reveal the connections between eating and culture, food and identity, family relationships and family mythologies, which all of us, New World Italian or not, have experienced."
