A cookbook can preserve more than recipes. It can carry forward the stories, traditions and people behind them. ⁠

La Cucina di Terroni: The Cookbook by Cosimo Mammoliti opens the vaults of the beloved Toronto and Los Angeles restaurant institution, sharing more than 100 classic southern Italian recipes. (@terroni.to @simonandschuster)⁠
⁠
One such recipe is Geppetto’s Sausage and Dandelion Garganelli, which honours Cosimo’s father, Vincenzo. Nicknamed Geppetto because he was a cabinetmaker, Vincenzo built shelves for the early Terroni restaurants and later helped make their sausages.⁠
⁠
“It was natural for him to also pass on food traditions,” shares the author. "Making sausage and salame was a ritual he had with his Italian friends here. When we needed to make sausages for the restaurants, he took that challenge full on."⁠
