About the Author

John Catizone is a second generation Italian American whose grandparents came from Abruzzo, Calabria and Naples. His passion for cooking began at a very early age when he helped his mother make ravioli, lasagna, meatballs, etc. As a young man, John traveled extensively as a jazz pianist. That profession gave John an opportunity to spend three years in Florence. John quickly understood just how regional the Italian culinary repertoire was (and remains so to this day). John returns to Italy to visit his Abruzzese cousins when possible.

Although not a trained chef, John has taken numerous cooking classes, including with a noted Italian cookbook author. And John’s home collection of both classic and modern Italian cookbooks is a library in itself.

As a senior citizen, John’s passion for cooking merged with his desire to live a healthy life. He began to study, and follow, the “Mediterranean diet.” The result is this cookbook. Far from austere, John’s recipes are small portion, common sense yet delicious, and designed to help one lose weight at a modest, sustainable pace. His combinations of colors in these recipes makes them especially inviting.
