Cristina Ferrare's Family Entertaining: Celebrating the Life of the Home

Cristina Ferrare

Growing up in a close-knit Italian family, Cristina Ferrare learned early that nothing equals the satisfaction of putting together a delicious meal, setting a lovely table and getting rave responses from the people you care about. CRISTINA FERRARE'S FAMILY ENTERTAINING brings all these elements together in a beautiful book filled with menus, more than 150 recipes, gift and decorating ideas, and, most of all, Ferrare's sense of what makes a meal truly magical.

Ferrare takes us through a year full of celebrations at her home, with osso buco, risotto and chocolate mousse cake for New Year's, through Mother's Day, the Fourth of July and a sumptuous Thanksgiving feast, to five festive and delicious menus for parties during the Christmas season. A great believer in creativity and flexibility in entertaining, Ferrare suggests ideas for a birthday party, a Mexican fiesta and a late-summer picnic that take advantage of the fruits and vegetables of the season. She also includes many of her family's traditional Italian recipes--variations on her mother's and grandmother's classics, including fourteen different pasta sauces--and her own favorite comfort foods, such as chicken pot pie with a cornbread crust.

CRISTINA FERRARE'S FAMILY ENTERTAINING inspires us to make every day a celebration of home, family and food.

Cristina Ferrare's Family Entertaining

Cristina Ferrare

Ever since Cristina Ferrare can remember, family and friends have asked her when she was going to write a cookbook, because food, cooking, and bringing people together have always been passions for her. Cristina Ferrare's Family Entertaining brings all these elements together in a beautiful book filled with menus, more than 150 recipes, gift and decorating ideas, and most of all, Ferrare's sense of what makes a meal truly magical. In a section filled with family photographs, Ferrare talks about her childhood and her adventures in learning how to cook from her mother and especially her grandmother. She reveals that even as she went on to great fame, her love of food and cooking continued to bring nothing but joy. In her current hectic life, with a two-hour-a-day live television show, a husband, and two young daughters, Ferrare finds that cooking and entertaining are important ways of sharing traditions and creating family memories. A great believer in creativity and flexibility in entertaining, Ferrare suggests ideas for a girlfriend's birthday party menu, a Mexican fiesta, and a late-summer picnic that takes advantage of the fruits and vegetables of the season. Ferrare is proud of her Italian heritage, and the book contains many recipes that are variations on classics that her mother and grandmother always cooked - including fourteen different recipes for pasta sauces. And there is a separate section of Ferrare's favorite feel-good foods - the ones that really mean home and comfort, such as beef ribs, stuffed cabbage, and chicken pot pie with a cornbread crust. Ferrare shows the reader how to set the theme for each menu with creative table setting and decorating ideas, and she teaches how to make individual party favors that will delight guests, from personalized, homemade pottery to holiday gift baskets.
