Celebrating Italian Heritage in America, From Old Sicily to America's Dinner Tables
A Touch of Italy is a 12-page DealMaker Food, Travel, Culture and Recipes publication celebrating Italian heritage in America. It opens with a table of contents and an editorial disclaimer, and it closes by noting that Italian cuisine creates a timeless legacy across generations.
From Old Sicily to America's Dinner Tables
This publication follows Italian food and family traditions from their roots to the tables of Italian American homes. It describes Italian cuisine as shaped by centuries of history and by influences from Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman cultures.
During the 1800s and early 1900s, millions of Italian immigrants came to the United States. Sicily and southern Italy were major points of origin. Families carried recipes, cooking skills and traditional dishes across the ocean as they built new lives, preserving culinary customs along the way.
The publication presents food as more than cuisine: it is a story of journey, family, community and tradition. It notes that recipes often fall into two categories: those born from necessity and those rooted in aristocratic origins. Over time, these culinary traditions evolved into beloved favorites.
