A collection of recipes and their related memories, originating from from Utica, New York. The contents were contributed to me over a period of 10 years, and perfected over lifetimes then handed down for generations. The full array or secrets are revealed from Halfmoons, Italian Bread, Meatballs, Utica Greens, Tomatoe Pie, Sauces, Mushroom Stews, Ravioli, Pasta Fazzoola, Minestrone, and scores of others included.

Upstate New York is the birthplace of many of America’s favorite foods. The chicken wing was born in a bar in Buffalo, the potato chip originated in the kitchen of a glitzy Saratoga Springs hotel, the salt potato got its start along the marshy shores of a Syracuse lake, and Thousand Island dressing was created in a hotel along the St. Lawrence Seaway. In this book, D’Imperio travels across the region to discover the stories and people behind forty iconic foods of Upstate New York. He introduces readers to the black dirt farmers of Orange County who give America its best-tasting onions, to the Catskill’s Candy Cane King, and to "Charlie the Butcher," purveyor of the best beef on weck in the state. Filled with color photographs, the book includes a map of the various regions around Upstate New York, allowing readers to create their own cultural and historic food tour.

"In the Italian kitchen, there is a fine line between recipes and memories. Joey De Cuffa - Central New York's signature Italian chef - delivers generous portions of both in this cookbook. Packed with more than 100 step-by-step recipes and seasoned with Joey's unforgettable stories, this long-awaited collection promises to become as popular as Joey's three standing-room-only restaurants: Joey's Classic Italian Dining, Pronto Joey's, and Joey's at the Thousand Island Club."--Back.

To some people, Utica New York is nothing more than a small upstate city that is mostly known for its abandoned storefronts and vacant buildings. However, just beyond the vacant lots and potholes lies a magnificent city that was once a booming city full of family-owned businesses where people traveled from near and far to experience everything that East Utica had to offer. In these pages, we will look back at some of the amazing businesses and people that made East Utica a great place to grow up in. And we have even added the directions on how to make Utica Tomato Pie, Chicken Riggies, and Utica Greens. So now you can sit back and eat some good old Utica food and reminisce on some good old Utica memories. Enjoy the journey through East Utica the way we remember it from yesterday.
