For three generations of Dante women, food means
love…
From her restaurant on Boston's Salem
Street, and from her own kitchen, Rose Dante has served
countless meals and built a tightly knit community of
customers, family and friends. Her daughter Toni tried to
create her own life, outside that circle—only to return with
her daughter when her marriage failed. Now that Vanessa's
nearly grown, Toni must face the bitterness of the past in
order to taste the sweetness of the future.
But she
can't make such a journey alone. She needs the guidance of a
mother, of her family. She needs Rose's recipes for
happiness, learned by trial and error over sixty years of
marriage. Recipes that are sometimes difficult to follow,
but like the perfect risotto al limone, are worth
the effort.
An unforgettable story of family
and forgiveness, loyalty and love.
