YONKERS, NY (October 24, 2024) – Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli will greet fans and sign copies of her newest cookbook, Italian American Forever, at Stew Leonard’s in Yonkers on Friday, November 8, 2024, from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. The book features 120 go-to Italian American favorites for all the red-sauced, pan-fried, crispy-cornered, baked-until-bubbly comforting classics you’ll want to eat every night.
Guarnaschelli may be a French-trained chef, an Iron Chef, and a short-order-chef to her daughter, Ava, but at her core, she’s an Italian American home cook. She devotes the entirety of Italian American Forever to the Italian American “greats,” from Carmella Soprano’s Lasagna (yes, that Carmella Soprano!) to Whole Chicken alla Diavola, Pork Chop Scampi, and Stuffed Artichokes so big and bursting that they’re a main course unto themselves. From simple weeknight suppers to slowly simmered Sunday sauces, these 120 recipes with 115 stunning photos are a celebration of garlic and tomatoes, parmesan, pesto, and all the meatballs, sausages, and tiramisu in between. This is the food we make to celebrate, commiserate, and just to be—it’s Italian, it’s American, it’s all of us.
Stew Leonard’s will sell Italian American Forever at the special price of $29.99.
