A handful of gratitude: Family recipes

No, this is not an ordinary recipe book.Why on earth would people care about my recipes?I tried to transcribe them, one after the other, but then some images of my life began to 'match' the dishes and I also started writing about distant memories: a perfume, a colour, a plate of pasta particularly dear to me, a dessert that reminded me of that special day. And all those events that literally changed my life!I couldn't stop anymore!Thus driven by a sudden urgency to clarify, to see in black and white the how and when of events, to unravel the intricate developments of a real transformation. From the most remote internal image to the most recent experiences, the world of cooking has gradually illuminated my path and given meaning back to things and situations that I had not understood before.This book now preserves them, reminding me who I am: a man passionate about cooking, one who gradually fell in love with it, one who through it found the most congenial way to express his creativity, emotions, passion. . Someone who would basically live there, in a kitchen. One who was saved from the kitchen.No, this is not a book that wants to explain how to cook, because it doesn't want to teach anyone anything.
