"Feast of a Lifetime" is a cookbook written in the form of a
biography. As the title implies, the book contains a unique
collection of recipes and cooking tips that will assist the
culinary enthusiast in preparing a diverse repertoire of fabulous
international dishes. The recipes emphasize Italian cooking, as
they were accumulated by two generations of Italian women. The
narrative tells the story of one of those women, the author's
mother, Sara, who faced extraordinary challenges as a young adult.
By the age of 25, Sara's mother had passed away, her son had been
born with problems, her husband was unfaithful, and she had become
the sole caretaker of her paralyzed father. With Sara's courage,
combined with her sense of adventure and humor, she overcame those
challenges to lead a fascinating life. Sara was lost in a
revolution in Baghdad, lived in a haunted house in Brazil, and was
later caught in an avalanche in Peru. With these and many other
stories, the title of the book takes on a secondary meaning: Sara's
lifetime itself was a feast--a feast of experiences.
Discover how these contemporary food icons changed the way
Americans eat through the fascinating biographical profiles in this
book. Before 1946 and the advent of the first television cooking

the Far East to Latin America. This expansion of America's
appreciation for food is largely the result of a number of
well-known food enthusiasts who forever changed how we eat. Icons

and cuisine through 24 biographical profiles of contemporary
figures, covering all regions, cooking styles, and ethnic origins.
