Description: "Creole Italian" explores the impact of Sicilian immigrants on New Orleans' food culture from the mid-1830s to the 1970s. The book argues that their influence on the city's foodways, traditionally undervalued, significantly contributed to shaping the food landscape of New Orleans, along with African, French, and Spanish culinary traditions.
