AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff tells host Jo Reed about an audiobook that will make you want to open a bottle of chianti and pull up a chair for a delicious meal. MacAllen’s history is part celebration of the traditional checkered tablecloth joints and part revelation of the origins of Italian dishes that American celebrate. Listeners hear of the history of dishes from tetrazzini to pasta primavera and will definitely be left craving a big plate of spaghetti.
