READERS LOVE SUNDAY SAUCE 

Sunday Sauce is the Best Selling Italian Cookbook by Best Selling author Daniel Bellino Zwicke.

Daniel says he is quite proud of the fact that he is now ranked higher than famous actor / Italian Food Travel Personality Stanley Tucci. Also he has recently and over the years ranked high than Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, and Giada DeLaurentis as a Best Seller of Italian Cookbooks, though all of these authors are quite a bit more famous than Bellino. His star has been steadily rising.

Daniel is one of the America's leading experts of Italian Food & Wine and Culture. He is considered one of the foremost authorities of Italian Wine in New York (thus America as well).

Daniel Bellino is credited with creating "America's 1st Venetian Wine Bar" in 1997. Bellino says that he already knew a number of Italian Wine Producers (estate owners) before he opened Bar Cichetti, but once he opened the place, every Italian Wine Producers who came to town (NYC) wanted to meet him, and he became one of the leading ambassadors and proponents of Italian Wine in America, a fact that all the Italian Wine People (owners) know and appreciate all that Daniel has done for them over the years, Championing their Wines through buying and selling them at his restaurant, and as a leading Wine Director in New York, at such establishments as Barbetta Ristorante (greatest Italian Wine List in America), and Bar Cichetti, as Wine Director, Chef, and managing partner.

Stanley Tucci

"TASTE"

Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.​

Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, NY, preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.

Written with nostalgia and Stanley's signature wry humor, Taste is for readers of Bill Buford, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichl--and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.

Pope Greenwich Village Sandwich NYC Recipe

 

Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts are coming out of Joe's Dairy in Greenwich Village

New York. In the movie The Pope of Greenwich Village this little Italian Cheese Store that

specializes in fresh homemade Mozzarella which is along with fresh made Italian Sausages precious commodities in the Italian-American Enclave. This real life Italian Cheese Shop was fictionalized as 

Jimmy The Cheeseman's Shop in the Pope of Greenwich Village which starred Mickey Rourke as Charlie Morant, and Eric Roberts as his cousin Paulie. Here we find Charlie and Paulie going into the cheese shop so Paulie can buy some fresh Mozzarella, Salami, and Prosciutto to make an Italian Sandwich. They then go next door to the real life Zampiere's Bakery which operated two shops in Greenwich Village for years, providing the local Italians with fresh baked Italian Bread and Pastries. Sadly these two wonderful establishments no longer exist, but thanks to this wonderful movie based on the book Pope of Greenwich Village by Vincent Patrick who does a great job capturing some real Greenwich Village Village character.

Paulie and Charlie going to Zampiere's Bakery to get a nice loaf of Italian Bread

for Paulie's gigantic sandwich.

Paulie and Charlie, tow neighborhood Italians chat in front of The Rectory

of Saint Anthony's of Padua Church on Sullivan Street.
