Every December, the Feast of the Seven Fishes Festival brings to life the rich holiday tradition of La Vigilia as it journeyed from Southern Italy to the heart of Appalachia, where immigrant families transformed a sacred seafood supper into a vibrant expression of identity and community. It all began when a forgotten family feast was revived in a coal-town kitchen and a grassroots festival grew into a beloved regional celebration—eventually inspiring an unlikely comic strip and a feature film.
Blending cultural history with deeply personal storytelling, Shannon Colaianni Tinnell captures the laughter, labor, and love behind an enduring Christmas ritual while offering over one hundred authentic, time-honored recipes drawn from more than twenty years of Festival Cucina. Warm, vivid, and unforgettable, this is more than a book about food—it’s a celebration of the stories we carry and the meals that keep them alive.

As ethnic neighborhoods in other cities assimilate to American life, the exuberant local flavor of San Diego's Little Italy remains both culturally and culinarily distinct. Tucked between Interstate 5 and San Diego Bay southeast of San Diego International Airport, the blocks surrounding the landmark Our Lady of the Rosary Roman Catholic Church contain many of the most notable eateries and gourmet cafes in America's Finest City. Join Maria Desiderata Montana, a daughter of that Italian heritage and one of the city's most notable food writers, on this savory tour through the zesty Italian food traditions, businesses and recipes both in Little Italy and across San Diego.
