Our family's wine store, In Vino Veritas, in Manhattan was the first of its kind and the well-curated selection of wines is created by pairing them with expertly prepared meals from our mother. This wine store cookbook presents our food philosophy in an easy to understand format. It's also two books in one; besides the family recipes and wines to match, there is an extensive food guide, helping to view and understand what we eat in the most clear way possible. The Rottura family behind this book and wine store comes from many hundreds of years of producing olive oil on their groves, wine from their vineyards, meat from their animals, and endless produce from their lands. Add to that an award-winning restaurant and there are few families anywhere in the world with their hands so deeply in as many different but connected industries as the Rotturas. The best part of it is being able to share it with all of you and your beautiful faces. Do yourself a favor and delve into this tome that's a love letter to our mother and family. It also serves as a book on how to live, a plate of Truth with a side dish of Humor. I do this because I love you.
