Several years ago, on a break between theatrical gigs in Alabama, Mark traveled to Italy and fell in love with the people, food and culture. Armed with just enough courage, minimal Italian language skills, and a certain proficiency in the kitchen, he enrolled in a full-immersion cooking and language program. He would travel to Viterbo, Italy and live with an Italian family. His teachers were beyond his wildest dreams-he learned to cook from the grandmother, or Nonna, of the family, who prepared every meal in a bustling, busy household, as women in her family have done for generations. Her daughter, Alessandra, taught him the language with patience and precision. Besides culinary secrets and prepositions, they opened their lives to him, and made him a real part of their extensive family. Though the book contains authentic, delicious family recipes Nonna shared with Mark, Beyond the Pasta delves into food memoir subject matter not found in a typical cookbook. It was the day-to-day shopping with Nonna, exploring the countryside and le gelaterie, where he truly developed his language skills, and a new, more joyful and uniquely Italian way of looking at the world.

Trulli Italian

Trulli Italian Review

Please allow me a moment to describe my pasta cookbook and why I feel it is unique. On the cover of my cookbook are pictures of the exotically beautiful Trulli houses only found in my Grandfather's region of Apulia in southern Italy. The title of the cookbook is obviously a play on the English adjective Truly and the Italian word Trulli for the unique beehive cone houses found in Apulia. (Puglia in Italian). No one really knows the origin of the structures but they are thought to be of Greek Byzantine origin when southern Italy was a part of Magna Graecia. I have lived and studied in Italy for over 6 years and studied the culture for many years. I am the typical Italian-American father who knows his way around the kitchen with a unique view of how pasta dishes are prepared in Italy as well as how to use American ingredients to quickly prepare authentic Italian condiments and sauces for pasta. Here are some of the components of my Italian pasta cookbook based on the village of Cisternino in Puglia, Italy:

- A Helpful list of items to stock in your Italian kitchen to assist in the procurement (shopping) and preparation of the recipes in the cookbook
- Over 100 recipes if you count the variations I included on many recipes
- Tips on preparing Italian pasta condiments and the one big secret my Italian relatives passed on to me for making sauces more flavorful
- Pictures and captions about the exotically beautiful town of Cisternino and the surrounding Valley of Itria with its Trulli houses
- One-pot pasta meals that can be made in 30 minute or less; my cookbook is about speed, authenticity and flavor
- Gourmet-style dishes made simple with easily obtainable ingredients; no dishes too difficult to find ingredients for.

Although there are a plethora of Italian pasta cookbooks on the market Trulli Italian combines regional Italian cooking with the insight of an Italian-American (me!) who has lived on both sides of the Atlantic. I have the ability to translate dishes so my fellow Americans can easily replicate authenticity the true casalinga or home-made Italian meals.
