Heart-Shaped Tomatoes
Stories of Italian Cooking with Nonna Elda
Heart-Shaped Tomatoes is a photo-driven cookbook about Elda Cristini, or Nonna, a 102-year-old Italian immigrant grandmother for whom cooking has remained a constant thread throughout her storied life. At 102, Elda still lives on her own, grows her own tomatoes, cooks them into a beautiful red sauce, can make pasta from scratch, and confidently pull together a multi-course meal.
The book uses recipes, photography, and personal essays as an entry point to examine themes of independence, generational knowledge, love, and family.
