ReadersMagnet is excited to exhibit Eleanor Gaccetta’s “Generations of Good Food” at the 2023 LibLearnX: The Library Learning Experience on January 27-30, 2023, at the New Orleans Earnest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA. “Generations of Good Food” is a compilation of nearly 200 recipes, including main dishes, bread, cakes, pies, cookies, and candy from the six generations of the author’s mother’s family, other relatives, and many of her friends. 

Eleanor Gaccetta conceptualized the book after the death of her mother. She gathered all her mother’s favorite cookbooks and recipes, separated them by categories, and printed them at a local office supply store as gifts for her nieces, great-nieces and a few close relatives. During the pandemic she transcribed all the recipes, added stories of her memories of many, and had the book published.
