It's what we're known for. But there's another side to our family and our relationship to food, and it's just as personal, maybe even more personal, than what we do at the bakery. I'm talking about the recipes and dishes, meals and traditions that nourish our bodies and souls when we get home. Just like any other family, we enjoy chilling out and spending time together, and there's no way we'd rather do that than around a table, a place that keeps us grounded and connected to each other as well as to the relatives who came before us. As proud as I am of our professional success, I'm just as proud that we've been able to continue making time for our family and extended family--and we're talking a lot of people-- to meet several times a week and eat together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd now I'm honored to share with you my family's favorite recipes and to tell you the stories of what makes them so near and dear to our hearts. I hope they might become favorites for your family as well, that they help you create memories to last a lifetime, the same way they've done for us Valastros. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e-- Buon Appetito, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuddy Valastro\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Buddy Valastro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451674309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451674309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.70w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2012 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/17\/2012","brand":"Buddy Valastro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992017142015,"sku":"9781451674309","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3fe3c5b-b750-4e70-b6a4-f1a4d0cbea8a.jpg?v=1683313565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cooking-italian-with-the-cake-buddy-valastro-9781451674309","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
