July 2026 – La Nostra Voce Features My Mother's Kitchen

I am honored that My Mother's Kitchen: The Kitchens of Taylor Street has been reviewed in the July 2026 issue of La Nostra Voce.

Reviewer Pamela D. Dean writes:

"Louis Scalzo has written far more than a memoir....He has written a loving tribute to his family, his neighborhood, and the traditions that shaped both"

I am grateful to Pamela Dean for her thoughtful review and for granting permission to reproduce excerpts from it.
