This heartfelt collection is dedicated to our Mom  – Susan Carolyn Dorius ‘Vietti’ ‘Slenda’ ‘Gams’ Bills. She is the one who has always makes every occasion and every day special.

True to her Italian heritage, most of our wonderful memories can be tied to some incredible meal, dessert, gift, or unexpected treat that she created for us over the years.

So thank you, Mimi, we love you so muchy-much.

Even though we have the help of this book…you are, and will always be, the envy of all of us in the kitchen.

Ama molto, mange bene, ridi spesso.
Love much, eat well, laugh often.
