Tales From A Hungry Life: A Memoir with Recipes is the story of a not-so-typical 1970s American family that lived, loved, and ate like there was no tomorrow. Italian and Puerto Rican-and definitely American-they were the Sopranos with a Spanish twist, a whole lot less money, and only their own blood on their hands. Meet the distinctly ethnic families brought together when Lou met Sarita...and six boys and one girl bound them together for good. Visit their tiny brick house in Queens, New York, where rock-n-roll blasted from the basement while spaghetti and meatballs or chicken and rice simmered on the stove. Along the way, you'll encounter the relatives and friends who helped them face hope and despair, love and loss, for better or for worse, with a knife and fork in their hands. This collection of sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant stories goes back to the days when disco was king and rock-n-roll was rebellion, the Dorothy Hamill was the "in" hairstyle, and no self-respecting Italian ate bottled spaghetti sauce. It's filled with a hearty helping of old family recipes and stories that celebrate a time, a place, and a group of people who knew one thing: to eat together was to live.
