Brooklyn Tales of an Italian-American Mom.

In my extended family is a woman named Linda Romanelli Leahy. She is a published author of cookbooks based on Brookyn Italian cuisine handed down from her mother.

She's now started a new blog called Brooklyn Tales of an Italian-American Baby Boomer.

She promises stories and recipes! From her blog:

My cookbooks are: The All-Natural Sugar-Free Cookbook; The Oat Bran Cookbook; The World's Greatest Peanut Butter Cookbook with Jack Maguire; 366 Healthful Ways to Cook Leafy Greens. Through the years I've written for a bunch of food Magazines. Cooking Light still has my Beef Carbonnade (chosen for Back to the Best) on their website.
