Red Sauce
Author: Ian MacAllen
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538162350
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Tells the story of Italian food arriving in the United States and how your favorite red sauce recipes evolved into American staples. In Red Sauce, Ian MacAllentraces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as “red sauce Italian,” from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. Some dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti alla Caruso owe their success to celebrities, and Italian-American cuisine generally has benefited from a rich history in popular culture. Drawing on inspiration from Southern Italian cuisine, early Italian immigrants to America developed new recipes and modified old ones. Ethnic Italians invented dishes like lobster fra Diavolo, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal parmigiana, and popularized foods like pizza and baked lasagna that had once been seen as overly foreign. Eventually, the classic red-checkered-table-cloth Italian restaurant would be replaced by a new idea of what it means for food to be Italian, even as ‘red sauce’ became entrenched in American culture. This booklooks at how and why these foods became part of the national American diet, and focuses on the stories, myths, and facts behind classic (and some not so classic) dishes within Italian-American cuisine.

Pages : 396
Book Description
The Red Lady is a homage to the classic stories in the form of a novel, where Étienne, a talented French artist accustomed to the good life at court, is compelled to leave behind all these comforts after falling out of favour due to an affair and travel through the woods in France seeking a living through his songs. One dark night, he crosses paths with a mysterious woman bearing a red hood and a black sword, with which she saves him from a beast arisen from children’s stories. By her side, he will begin a strange quest of which he knows very little and in which he will discover that fairy tales have a spine-chillingly real backstory. ---- I’ve been chased by wolves on moonless nights. I’ve walked through crypts inhabited by the walking dead. I’ve faced terrors that would make the bravest turn pale. I’ve ridden with the ghostly hunt, brandishing cold iron. I’ve wielded a howling sword that wanted to devour my soul. I’ve seen things that shouldn’t even exist die. I’ve done it all in pursuit of a goal that I didn’t understand. But this is not my story. It’s hers.
