.. Editorial Reviews 

Recipes & Stories of Italian-America .... I didn't know what to expect before I loaded this on to my Kindle and started reading. The premise of the novel is a set of Italian recipes with each one accompanied by a story. This is the first of its kind that I've ever read or even heard of, so I thought I'd give it a chance and wasn't disappointed after finishing it a few days ago.Daniel does a great job of creating the recipes and making sure that each one feels authentic and taste wonderful. All of the stories with each recipes are well done and the author does a great job of connecting the food to the story. It's hard to figure out which one is more enjoyable, the story side or the recipe side? If forced I would lean slightly more towards recipe side, though I love all the stories as well. The author makes you feel as if you are the table with him, his friends, and family. It's all quite fun.  The recipes are quite wonderful and highlight Italian cuisine.

If you're looking for a great cook book to with authentic Italian dishes, this is the book for you, as it does a splendid job of creating tasty, quality meals..Buy This One. I did. 

I'd have to say that Sunday Sauce is this Best Italian Cookbook of an impressive array of such books, of which Daniel Bellino specializes in. This is truly Authentic Italian Cooking ... Many of the recipes are very close to those, my grandmother,who was from Sicily, made. These recipes are very good. Buy the book if you want authentic Italian recipes.

From the Author :  "I'd like to thank everyone who has obtained anyone of my books and for your many kind words about some of the joys the recipes and stories within have pleased you. It's truly an honor for me for each and every book that anyone obtains of mine and I thank each and everyone of you. A special thanks to those who have said Sunday Sauce is The Best Italian Cookbook Ever. Mille Grazie."

Sincerely,
  Daniel



From for a 2 Year Period between 2014 to 2016 the Kindle Edition of SUNDAY SAUCE was # 1 BEST SELLER of ITALIAN COOKBOOKS on AMAZON KINDLE longer than any other cookbook, even ones buy other notable Italian Cookbook Authors like; Lidia Bastianich, Giada DeLaurentis, and Maryann Esposito.
