The Best of Long Island Recipes Patti Chiappa

When I hear the words Long Island, happy memories come to my mind. Like having ice cream sodas in my grandparent's back yard in Commack, N. Y., having a hotdog at Jones beach, or eating my mom's homemade macaroni salad at a family BBQ. Long Island is the place where I grew up. The place I no longer call home, but the place where I always return to in my dreams. Long Island has some of the best food, the best beaches, and the best dinners. Included in this book are recipes my family has made for years and also some recipes, I learned to make by working at some of Long Island's hottest spots Like the Huntington Town House, The Smithtown Sheraton, catering for folks at the Nassau Coliseum and more. I hope you will enjoy these recipes as much as I did cooking them for family and friends. These are just some of the recipes you will find in this book-Broke until Friday because I live on Long Island surprise meat dinner, The Big Game Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole, Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking Eve- Lets stay home instead of Going to Time Square Deviled Eggs, Snowbird's Chipotle Pork Ribs, Yankees White Chicken Chili, Hanging out at the Smithhaven Mall Macaroni Salad, I miss Entermann's pound cake Sour Cream Pound Cake, Perfect Day on the Long Island Sound Sweet and Sticky Grilled Drumsticks, Screaming in the Tunnels at Jones Beach White Chocolate Mousse Torte, Grab a beer with some friends Brown Sugar Meatloaf and many more!
