Italian Street Food

Paola Bacchia was born to Italian migrant parents and into their food culture. Her award-winning blog, Italy On My Mind, explores the connection between family memories and food through stories, photos and recipes. She returns to Italy every year to expand her knowledge of Italian food and traditions. She has published three titles with Smith Street Books.

"From top to bottom, Bacchia traversed the alleyways of Italy, scoping out the most authentic street bites in each stop and learning not just their recipes but their histories. Here, she shares both, presenting a side of Italian cuisine rarely explored in cookbooks but certainly worthy of your attention." —FODOR'S
