Although it hasn’t caused me any hassle in the airport, this book is the heaviest piece of luggage I’ve ever carried to Italy. It’s a trunk that I’ve filled slowly and relentlessly over the years with memories, colors, aromas and recipes from home. The chapters are organized into different menus, each celebrating and describing a unique facet of Texas food culture.
From the rugged cowboy recipes straight off the cattle trail, to the spicy fish gumbo from our Eastern swamplands, to the Caribbean-inspired mango salsa that sparked my own marriage, I will guide you on a journey, not only through the kitchens, but deep into the heart of Texas.

LA CUCINA TEX-MEX will be available in book stores in Italy on October 20th, 2011! (In Italy only for now, sorry!) Click here to buy online.

But don’t Americans just eat hamburgers and hotdogs?!
The book that will change the way Italians think about American food: From the rich and flavorful cajun dishes of Louisiana to the world-famous apple pie, this cookbook guides its reader to the discovery of authentic American cooking. Laurel Evans has zig-zagged across her country, collecting a curious and extensive manual of traditional recipes, that may finally convince Italians that there’s more to America than fast food.

Buon Appetito America is also available in bookstores all over Italy, and also online! (In Italy only for now, sorry!)
