Hammonton native authors ‘A Taste for All Seasons’
Eleanor Rodio Furlong of Naples, Fla., formerly of Hammonton and Vineland, presents a legacy of hand-me-down recipes that were perfected over a century or more plus a memoir about a lost era in Americana culinary history, in her new book, “A Taste for all Seasons: A Healthy Blend of Italian and American Cuisines.”
The book features authentic recipes with origins in the Neapolitan and Abruzzi regions of Italy, which found their way to southern New Jersey with Italian immigrants settling there around the turn of the 20th century. The Rodios were among those who established farms, planted their roots in the Jersey soil, and nurtured their families in the New World.
