It’s the first thing Italian mothers will ask, regardless of whether or not you have, or are indeed even hungry!The Mangiasti community began and grew from a desire to feed our families during a period that was challenging and unprecedented in our times.The intrinsic desire to share our stories and treasured recipes make this more than another cookbook. 2020 has brought a whole new meaning to the word ‘community’. It has reinforced the need for connectedness with family and friends.
