The Arthur Avenue Cookbook – Recipes and Memories from the Real Little Italy (Ann Volkwein)

The Arthur Avenue neighborhood, in the Bronx, is known by many as the “Real Little Italy.” It has been home to a community of Italian Americans for over 100 years. This cookbook invites you to join that community by cooking some of the recipes that have passed down through the generations, “time-tested, tried and true.” You’ll meet some of the area’s most colorful characters, including restaurant and shop owners. Finally, it is also a guide to pastry shops, delis and restaurants in the neighborhood. 2004 first edition with dust jacket in very good condition.
