  “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly

  Lynn Soles made her career about creating beauty – as an artist, art teacher, tattoo artist and owner of a “permanent beauty” clinic. Then her doctors told her she had cancer. She had to choose: Die soon and ugly from cancer or enter a long course of treatments that might allow her to regain the life she’d known.  
  This remarkable memoir and guidebook, written in the course of her first year of treatment, gives real-life guidance for best supporting others through long-term illnesses and surgeries. Practical tips describe:how a cancer friend is different from other friends; things to say (and things never to say!) to your friend in treatment; essential cancer self-care tips for the habitual Superwoman;specific ways to ask for and give help to a person exhausted by cancer treatments.  
  You’ll laugh with Lynn as she and her family adjust to the changes treatment causes. You’ll be amazed by her contractor husband’s commitment to support her–even applying her eyelashes to the sounds of crooner Dean Martin. You’ll sense her longing as family holiday traditions, client care schedules, and the most mundane of daily tasks are revised to accommodate her chemotherapy-induced exhaustion. You’ll marvel at the perseverance cancer treatment can teach and learn to respect the times when a patient needs to rest in the “cancer cocoon.”  
  Hollywood stars rely on beauty professionals like Lynn to keep them physically beautiful right to the day their body is viewed in its coffin. Lynn’s cancer journey will inspire you to reconsider whether your hope rests in the beautiful things of this world that will fade away, and to rethink what it means to leave a beautiful, eternal Christian legacy.
