Mangia with Micheline: A journey of my life through stories and recipes about family, friends and the good old days

Started as a column in a small-town newspaper, Mangia with Micheline combines generations of Italian-American flavors and traditions with heartwarming, humorous and remarkable personal tales that celebrate those memories shared around the family dining room and kitchen. From family-inspired spins on classic dishes like Veal Osso Buco, Pasta e Fagiole, and Calamari Ripiene to homespun tales of growing up in Providence’s celebrated Italian neighborhoods and living undercover as a gangster’s moll, Mangia with Micheline is a journey of life and discovery told through stories, recipes, family photographs and proud Italian-American traditions.
