This book was assembled in 2005 to mark the centennial of brothers Giovanni (John) and Giuseppe (Joseph) Timpani’s arrival in the United States from Santa Cristina, Calabria. While the major influences on the family recipes are decidedly Italian, New England and food of the 1950s also left their mark. The recipes that follow aren’t inclusive but a representative sampling of family favorites (as evidenced by the large dessert section).

The ideas, recipes and advice provided in this book are based on best practices and high nutrition standards. They are intended to off er school personnel and volunteers help in interpreting and implementing current West Virginia Board of Education Policy 4321.1, Standards for School Nutrition. While its purpose is serious, Let’s Party is all about having fun.
