New Book Celebrates Family Cooking
Author: Guy
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (PRWEB) March 03, 2012
Yvonne Conte, author of the new book ?Cry, Laugh, Cook!: A Collection of Essays, Conversations, and Conte Family Recipes? (published by Balboa Press), describes herself as a laughter, humor and joy expert. Coming from a long line of ?laughter, humor and joy experts,? Conte often credits her expertise to her family.
?The Conte Family can trace its origin to Amaroni, a small town in the Province of Catanzaro, in southern Italy, in the region of [Calabria,? says Conte. ?My great grandparents had three sons and two daughters. Their eldest son was my grandfather. He married Philomena Marrotta and had four children. The eldest was my father, Frances William Conte.?
An award-winning sales executive and popular public speaker, Conte distills her family?s lessons in cooking and homemaking to deliver a clever collection of essay on the art of living well.
?How often do we talk about our lives growing up? What lessons have we learned? What traits do we embrace?? Conte asks. ?This is the fabric of our lives, our history. Recording the experiences and ideals that carry us through life is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our family. This book is an example of one way to share the gift of who we are.?
?Cry, Laugh, Cook!? is divided into three sections: a collection of essays, conversations with Gary Dunes, a long time fixture in the Central New York radio market, and 45 authentic Italian recipes.
?This book will show you how to live a joy-filled life even in today?s difficult times. I wrote this book because I want my grandchildren to know that same kind of family strength and loyalty that I grew up with. We cried a little bit, we laughed a little bit, and then we?d cook!?
