The story of our common past, told through the recipes & reminiscences of our immigrant ancestors. Author Tom Bernardin, former tour guide at Ellis Island, presents the story of Ellis Island through the original recipes of our immigrant forebears. A national recipe search has produced over 175 authentic recipes brought to America from 25 countries. Many recipes are introduced by the stories of the people who brought them here, lovingly shared by the immigrants themselves or their descendants, whose evocative memories bring a special meaning to the recipes. Illustrated with old photos, maps & lithographs, the book includes: The story of Ellis Island, Chronology, Food at Ellis Island, Immigrant Portraits, Tracing Your Family Roots, Planning Your Trip to Ellis Island, Ellis Island Today, etc. Tips on Getting a Family Recipe, Blank Recipe Pages & a Family Tree make this an extraordinary keepsake & reading experience.
