From roasted peppers in a paper bag to the family’s famous meatballs and sausages, Jan and Livia D’Atri rescued their family heritage one delicious bite at a time and then turned their recipes and heartwarming kitchen memories into a top-selling cookbook, “Momma & Me & You” on QVC.
Now, they’re heading across America in search of your tattered and torn, greased-stained and faded recipes that have been passed along from one generation to the next and that share your fondest family traditions.
So far, cookbook authors Jan and “Momma” D’Atri have stumbled across scrumptious recipes and heartwarming tales from every generation and ethnicity–stuffed in shoe boxes, framed and hanging on family room walls and scribbled across crumpled, torn and nearly-forgotten scraps of paper.
Invite these two charming cooks into your kitchen and watch them serve up treasured dishes that are quickly becoming America’s new best-loved recipes.
Meet the authors when the cookbook tour comes through town Wednesday, July 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Friedman’s Appliance, 1827 East Spring Street. For more information call (562) 989-7756.
Arrive early to participate in the fun. The first 50 people will receive a free “Momma & Me & You Cookbook.” The D’Atri’s will also give away a gorgeous seven-piece stainless-steel Dacor cookware set valued at $500. Just bring in a recipe and a family story about that recipe to enter your name in a drawing.
