\>o?~7 i The book is finally done. Yippee! January 2011 I hope whoever has a copy of this edition enjoys all the recipes. There are plenty of family recipes and many fond memories. Included are recipes from my beautiful Grandma Lococo. An excellent cook and baker. Losing her recipes is what inspired me to put this book together. There are also my mother’s (Mom LaFranca’s) recipes, another excellent cook. Try these dishes out. I am sure you will agree they are delicious. We have many friends’ recipes that are equally delicious and I encourage you to try those too. I will forever be grateful to my wonderful friend Meryl for putting up with the ongoing editing. Meryl, without you this book would still be in the beginning stages. It is close to ten years now and she happily made the corrections and adding more recipes over and over throughout the years. She is a special lady. Thank you Meryl and thank you Garry for not getting irritated when Meryl spent so much of her time on the book. I appreciated you sharing her with me. Much love to all. Mangia! PS if you are not in the mood for cooking, my sister Nanette has an excellent alternative. Check out her recipe on page 41. Note: From time to time we add new recipes.
