Cristina Ferrare’s

Family Entertaining

Cookbook

Cooking for family and friends has always made me happy. Ever since I can remember they have asked me, when are you going to write a cookbook? I would always laugh and say, I’m working on one. This book has been a lifetime in the making.

Food is a passion for me, integral to every aspect of my life, so I was not interested in just jotting down a few recipes. I thought if I showed a year’s worth of meal-centered celebrations, explained the traditions, and shared some of the stories, it might make the food seem a little more real, the decorating a little less intimidating.

I wanted to tell how and why we do certain things in our family. Why eating together is so important. The joy of setting a beautiful table.

Cristina’s cookbook is filled with full-color photographs throughout, including traditional Italian recipes, full holiday and party menus, and Cristina’s favorite family meals.

Ohpps! The book publishers goofed!! If you bought the book, add a cup of flour to the wonderful apple cobbler recipe!
