During Louise DeSalvo's childhood in 1950s New Jersey, the kitchen
becomes the site for fierce generational battle. Louise's
step-grandmother insists on recreating the domestic habits of her
Southern Italian peasant upbringing, clashing with Louise's
convenience-food-loving mother; Louise, meanwhile, dreams of
cooking perfect fresh pasta in her own kitchen. But as Louise grows
up to indulge in amazing food and travels to Italy herself, she
arrives at a fuller and more compassionate picture of her own
roots. And, in the process, she reveals that our image of the
bounteous Italian American kitchen may exist in part to mask a
sometimes painful history.
