“Cooking with My Sisters is the best Italian cookbook ever written by women from the American south. Adriana Trigiani and her sisters had the genius to unite a Southern sensibility with Italian cooking, and the stories of the Trigiani family alone are worth the price of admission.” — Pat Conroy

“This collection fills the heart as full as the stomach! Mangia, y’all!” — Rachael Ray

“Fabulous … When a bestselling novelist, her four sisters and their mother tie on their aprons and put their heads together to write a cookbook, chances are it’ll be filled with warm reminiscences, family stories and plenty of old-world recipes.” — New York Daily News

“For decades, the women of the Trigiani family have expressed themselves through their cooking. The sisters of the present generation, whose heritage stretches improbably from the mountains of Italy to those of western Virginia, have set down the family’s culinary tradition as they learned to love it. . . As much family memoir as cookbook, this volume documents the nurturing relationships of grandmothers, mother, and daughters.” — Booklist

“Trigiani (Big Stone Gap) and her mother and sisters share childhood stories, memories of grandparents and parents, and family recipes. Their remembrances of past events, people, and favorite meals are sprinkled with humorous comments and cooking hints from one or another of the authors, adding to the casual, conversational tone. Food was central to Trigiani family life and a primary reason their Italian heritage was preserved through three generations in America. The recipes include pastas, main courses, desserts, and snacks; most are easy and straightforward, perfect to pass from generation to generation.” — Library Journal

“A scrapbook of homey recipes and reminiscences. . . Authentic.” — Publishers Weekly
