JUST FINISHED “SUNDAY SAUCE”

 

Just Finished My latest, “Sunday Sauce” When Italian-Americans Cook, “Yee-Haa” !!! Always a great feeling. The next great feeling is the day it’s published. It’s coming soon. Everything is in place, and with the technology and the way they do things these days, it might be up and running and available on Amazon by December 7, 2013, Just In Time for CHRISTMAS … It was another labor of love that I hope people will enjoy. It’s centered around Sunday Sauce, the “Suprem Dish” of Italian-America’s … And it’s not just Sunday Sauce, recipes for all of Italian-America’s Favorite dishes are in there, and as per usual with my cookbooks, it’s not just recipes, but all sorts of wonderful stories to boot. I hope everyone will enjoy it.

Thanks,  Daniel
