Why was it named the Hill? When early Italian immigrants trudged back home from their back-breaking jobs, they called the incline \"La Montagna (The Mountain).\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this community, which gave the world Lawrence \"Yogi\" Berra and Joe Garagiola, we turn a spotlight on four of the Hill's award-winning restaurants, legendary for classic dishes of impeccable quality. They include Charlie Gitto's \"On the Hill,\" Dominic's, Giovanni's, and Cunetto House of Pasta. U.S. Presidents, past and present, Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and a host of sports greats including Michael Jordan, Joe DiMaggio, and Tommy LaSorda have all sought out this small enclave to enjoy a fine dining experience which is synonymous with the Hill. Not only does this book highlight the \"rags to riches\" stories of these four restaurant families, it also features some of their amazing signature dishes such as linguini tutto mare, veal saltimbocca, zuppa di pesce, and \"the original\" toasted ravioli recipe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an added bonus, local residents of the Hill have opened up their kitchens to share their time-tested, traditional recipes which are reminiscent of families gathering around Grandma's dining table to share their lives during Sunday dinners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hill: Its History, Its Recipes is a wonderful blend -- a book like no other. Much like a recipe which offers delightful combinations to entice the senses, this book offers a collection of culinary delights, snapshots of the daily lives and aspirations of the Hill immigrants, and a look back into an enduring community with a rich cultural heritage. Simply put, this book seeks to bring you the best of the Hill; its history, its food, its people, and its heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sold Out Cookbooks","offers":[{"title":"HC \/ 9780943963969","offer_id":35551510298776,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/4374\/4920\/products\/TheHill.jpg?v=1596185895","url":"https:\/\/cookbookvillage93939-com.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hill-history-saint-louis-cookbook","provider":"cookbookvillage93939.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
