Chet's Kitchen

This book has 77 Italian-American recipes, covering everything from appetizers to desserts. The collection includes 6 family hand-me-downs and cherished friends' recipes, and the rest are my creations.

Our family's plain cheesecake recipe goes back to 1958, and I started making them in the early 80's. I've added my twist with at least 12 variations, four of which you'll find at the end of the book. They're rich and indulgent, perfect for enjoying about four times a year. I hope you enjoy the book. If you have any questions about the recipes, feel free to email me at dagata511@gmail.com, and I'll do my best to respond quickly, possibly on the same day. Have a wonderful life and MANGIA!!
