Tells the story of Italian food arriving in the United States and how your favorite red sauce recipes evolved into American staples.
In Red Sauce, Ian MacAllentraces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as red sauce Italian, from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. Some dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti alla Caruso owe their success to celebrities, and Italian-American cuisine generally has benefited from a rich history in popular culture.
