Welcome to my table, where each dish is a story, each bite, a chapter and each meal, a precious memory.
A true gourmet foray into Elena’s native Italy, this book presents the best recipes from a chef with a big heart, but also her memories, anecdotes and archive photographs which bear witness to the long history of her family in Quebec. Proud of her heritage, Elena lovingly transmits culinary know-how that has influenced many great chefs: several pay tribute to her here, including her son, Stefano.
In this intimate and generous book, she shares her delectable fresh pasta recipes, including multi-colored pastas, various sauces, eggplant meatballs, red pepper and almond pesto and much more. This is the inspiring story of an independent Italian immigrant, entrepreneur and humanist.
