About the Author

Patricia Dalesandro is a native Chicagoan, life-long Cubs fan, cook, and also an art director and a painter. Now, living in the Pacific Northwest, she loves the beauty of the area, but her hometown will always hold a special place in her heart. Growing up, she was always interested in her family’s Italian cooking and baking and learned from her Nana and Nana’s sisters. She tested and photographed every recipe in the book. She hopes you’ll enjoy these recipes, which are filled with love.
