Endorsement from Sue Zelickson on Celebrations with Carmela’s Cucina
Carmela Hobbins shares her love of family, celebrations, entertaining, food and wine in this wonderful cookbook. The beautiful photos, recipe details, Carmela’s Comments and Wine Pairings are added attractions. It is a joy to read and makes you want to get right in the kitchen to start cooking and share her celebrations with your family. I can’t wait to try the shrimp boil and red velvet cupcake recipes for the 4th of July. The authentic Italian pizzelles and stromboli sound devine and what fun to make turkey soup after Thanksgiving and serve it in mini bread bowls. It’s all in the book.
