My mom, Marion Celenza (now 73), is the daughter of Italian immigrants and she grew up in Brooklyn. Her cooking has always been Italian-based but it is also influenced by cuisines from around the world. Growing up on Long Island, I remember that she was an “index cardâ€? person and in even hand-wrote a number of recipes for me (manicotti, lasagna e.g.) before I left for grad school. Then about 20 years ago she typed out selected recipes on different color paper in order to color code the recipes organized by menus. She came up with 52 complete menus (one for each week) along with several menus for holidays. My mom then assembled these recipes into a manuscript complete with 20 or so photos of different dishes and tried to get it published as a book called “Menu Logâ€?. Being a neophyte at the book publishing game she ended up “self-publishingâ€? Menu Log a year ago ending up with 1000 copies in her garage. She initially sold the books by word of mouth and publicity from her church, but then found a book distributor who got the book into her local Barnes and Nobles, where she did a book signing this past summer. (At this point she is trying to find a publisher to do a second printing of Menu Log.) One can still buy the remaining books through a number of on-line services such as Amazon.com. - for more info go to http://home.earthlink.net/~cookiecrone/ . People who have used the book (mostly friends and family at this point) have commented that the recipes perform well and it makes for an interesting conversation starter. For me, I enjoy reading through the book as it brings back many memories of meals that my mom would prepare for various occasions. In fact, she is currently preparing her own variations on the traditional Italia fish dinner on Christmas Eve. On a personal note, I get a kick out of preparing one of the recipes when I have guests over and then pass off the complements to my mom!
