\nMy suitcases were small (all that my airline would allow) but I brought back a lot, (things that are too special to carry in a suitcase) my souvenirs are made up of memories and flavors that I experienced while in Sacramento, California. One of my book tour appearances, last week)\u00a0 brought me to the Italian Cultural Center<\/a> there….a short visit that brought a long list of more memories filled with flavors and an experience of history that I never knew…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLarge amounts of Italians emigrated <\/a>from Italy to California during the Gold Rush\u00a0 Many worked as miners, began hotels for the miners and helped in many other ways during that time….seems to be a fact hidden away in the history of the US and something I never knew. But one of my favorite things about Northern, California is a recipe that, is an Italian one,but adapted a bit to California style. It is Cioppino and one that California\u00a0 call their very own. Legend has it that this recipe, in the 1850’s was brought there by an Italian named Buzarro, who had a restaurant\u00a0 on a boat anchored off Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. Although Californians proudly acknowledge it as one of their own recipes it was brought there and adapted by this Italian and became a popular one to this day. It is an Italian version of Bouillabaise or a fish chowder. Serve over toasty slices of day old Italian bread and you have a delicious meal!\u00a0 Serve with a dry white wine from Napa Valley..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
