Everyone knows Italians cook from memory! That's why this book is so special. The beloved Italian trio of Sooshi Mango sat down with their mammas and coaxed from them the secrets to all the best dishes from our childhoods (and theirs).

These pages will transport you to their mamma's house with more than 40 recipes that cover all the makings of a delicious family feast – from antipasti to first, second and side courses to desserts. After many 'Ma stop guessing!' moments, they wrote it all down, bringing you the greats. From Carmela's cotoletta to Giuseppina's chicken brodo, Angela's pasta al forno and Carlo's beloved Sicilian doughnuts – it's all here for you to recreate at home. The mammas have even shared their smash-hit menus, the best shots from all the family albums, and advice on food and life – mamma knows best, after all.

To Sooshi Mango, food isn't just food. It's how they show love, how they keep the peace, and why their homes will forever be a magnet for all the relatives and uninvited guests. Welcome to the famiglia!
