Were so lucky we get two kinds of family:

the one were born with, and the one we make ourselves.

This book is dedicated to all of you, my friends and fans, my second family. Your constant support means the world to me.

Grazie di tutto! Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo!

I want to acknowledge the amazing people

who help make everything possible:

My juicy husband Joe, my beautiful daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana, my wonderful parents Antonia and Giacinto Gorga, my fantastic co-writer and friend Heather Maclean, the worlds best agent Susan Ginsburg, culinary master Rick Rodgers, the entire team at Writers House and Running Press, especially Jennifer Kasius, Chris Navratil, Allison Devlin, Craig Herman, and Frances Soo Ping Chow, photographer Steve Legato, Debbie Wahl, Marieellen Melker, my photo co-stars Priscilla DiStasio and Edyta Keska, and all my other family, friends, and fans.

Thank you for filling my life with love.

I adore you all more than youll ever know.

Chi mangia bene, vive bene.

Who eats well, lives well.

E verything about Italy is hot: the climate, the people, the fashion, even the shape of the countryhow much hotter can you get than a tall boot with a high heel?

Everything about Italians is hot, tooand not just on the outside. Were hot blooded. We are famous for our passion and our tempers, for our love and our loyalty. And when it comes down to it, we just like things hot. We like our partners hot; we like our weather hot; and we love our food hot.

If youve read any of my previous cookbooks, you know red pepper flakes are one of my favorite ingredients because I love to eat hot. If youve seen me on The Celebrity Apprentice or The Real Housewives of New Jersey, you know that I find myself in hot situations far more often than Id like. (Every time I try to get out, they keep pulling me back in!) But both of my parents are from Italy, and I was conceived in the old country, so at least I come by my heat honestly.

I absolutely love-love-love the summer. I love when its hot outside. Maybe its because I love to be outside. The wintersespecially the ones weve been having lately on the East Coastare not my friend. When its cold, everyone seems to hibernate. We hide in our houses. We hide our bodies under layers of clothes.
