“My wife and I really enjoy
ITALIAN TONIGHT!. It's rare to find a
cookbook with so many good recipes; they have joined our
favorites, prepared over and over.”
- John Dawson
“In 1886 at age 21, my grandfather, Michel Carangelo, left his home in Naples to seek the American Dream. From his pushcart on the streets of New York City, he devised a street vending enterprise of selling roasted chestnuts and "spedini de carne" which dates back to Roman Times (or "meat on a stick" - similar to shishkabobs that were introduced later) which they called "Spiedini" or "Spiedi" for short. Many years later a local newspaper acclaimed this Italian immigrant "The First Street Vendor in New York City," but, over time, restauranteurs and major grocery chains have claimed the "Spiedi" as their own.”
-Bob Carangelo
“With disappearing Italian neighborhoods, authentic Italian pastry bakeries, real New York pizzas, and some of the restaurants in this cookbook, ITALIAN TONIGHT! is a valuable gift of Italian heritage for future generations.”
-Marie Negri
