Perseverance and determination run in the Mosconi family. It is those character traits that led Pietro Mosconi, an immigrant boy from Emilia-Romagna, to become the renowned Italian American chef he is today, and those very same traits that led his daughter Joanne, many years later, to publish a book about him, “The Chef of Greenwich Village”.
Part recipes, part stories, the book is a work of love, a tribute to the accomplishments and hard work that Joanne’s father embodies and all that he has taught her. "It is no understatement to say that this cookbook contains my heart," says Joanne. "I now feel like I have a way to talk to my father for the rest of my life - by accessing his techniques, recreating his flavors, and preparing his wondrous, remarkable dishes."
