  Red Sauce - How Italian Food...

  In Red Sauce, Ian MacAllen traces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as "red sauce Italian," from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on inspiration from Southern Italian cuisine, early Italian immigrants to America developed new recipes and modified old ones. Ethnic Italians invented dishes like lobster fra Diavolo, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal parmigiana, and popularized foods like pizza and baked lasagna that had once been seen as foreign. Eventually, the classic red-checkered-table-cloth Italian restaurant would be replaced by a new idea of what it means for food to be Italian, even as "red sauce" became entrenched in American culture. This book looks at how and why these foods became part of the national American diet, and focuses on the stories, myths, and facts behind classic (and some not so classic) dishes within Italian-American cuisine.

  Explore The Various Benefits Of Green Smoothie Recipes And Use them To Improve Your Health And Quality Of Life  
  There are many advantages of drinking green smoothies. Sure, you're going to get more fruit and vegetables. Nonetheless, you will also find an increase in your metabolism, smoother hair, a fall in weight and even a better mood. People who follow the raw food diet have turned to green smoothies to boost a diet that is already nutritious, and many find the vitality and sense of well-being they want. 
  If you've never tried a green smoothie cleanse before, you're heading for a completely new level of wellness and energy. It may be overwhelming to pick up a glass containing a thick green liquid and drink it down, but the fact is that green smoothies do not taste anything that is different from blue, orange, red and yellow. The main difference is one of food and fiber rather than that of taste. The green color of the smoothies comes from chlorophyll. You probably learned in middle school that this is the color that helps plants perform photosynthesis; it is also this color that connects to the toxins in your system at a molecular level and pulls them out one at a time. 
  Green smoothies effectively detoxify your body, leaving you healthy and strong. This book will instruct you in how to reap the benefits of green smoothies. In addition to becoming more glamorous and radiant, you end up getting your desired weight.
