![]() ![]() Michele Gallo Cook.FROM THE EDITOR/DESIGNER, MARINO AMORUSO.In a family full of great Italian cooks, Aunt Phil Gallo was by far the best. ![]() I am convinced that some of my mother's recipes can never be duplicated, whether it was the pan she used or a trick of my memory, some things just never come out the same. ![]() I still have that first beat up cookbook with the recipes. About a week before my wedding, I asked my mother to make my favorite foods, and then I followed her around the kitchen, badgering her about what went into what dish, how much and how long it was cooked, etc. This made for great dinners but hard-to-follow recipes! My mother rarely wrote anything down, and for the most part, it wasn't until I got married that any of these recipes were written down. She could, with amazing talent, open the refrigerator and create a memorable meal out of almost nothing. Anyone who came to dinner at our house, and there were quite a few, shared that opinion. First, my mother was a terrific cook, and I'm not saying that just because she was my mother. There are a few things you have to understand about this cookbook before you try any of the recipes. ![]() FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY MICHELE GALLO COOK. ![]()
