Bestselling author David Rocco celebrates family in this delightful and delicious collection of recipes passed down through generations.

This book is all about family cooking. Dolce Famiglia includes many of David’s family-friendly recipes, running the gamut from essential sauces every home cook should have in their repertoire to the snacks, salads, mains and desserts that he makes for his own family. But more than that, the book pays tribute to the people who have inspired him, by telling their stories and sharing their recipes. Featuring the richly textured photography and gorgeous design of Rocco’s previous bestsellers, Dolce Famiglia offers the kind of treasured, always-in-the-family recipes that are such a hallmark of Italian cuisine.

As David puts it, “At the end of the day, ingredients don’t have hearts and souls. It’s the people and the families who pour their blood, sweat and tears into the making of these iconic products. It’s families who are the gatekeepers to this traditional style of cooking.”
