Italian Medicine Zachary Tamer

Little Tony was beginning to worry that he might pop if his Nonnie fed him one more ladle of "Italian Medicine", but he just might have a plan that could stop him from bursting his pant buttons and help his community at the same time!

Italian Medicine is a story about the beginning of our relationships with food and how these relationships often start with someone we might call Nona, Nonnie, MiMi or GiGi. Throughout childhood, food was the answer to all of life's ailments and, if it didn't cure you the first time, you simply needed to eat some more!




Italian Medicine offers a generous portion of the true healing power in good cooking. This story spills over with love, and shows how we can learn to use the healing power of food to make a difference in the lives of others one plate at a time.

I wrote Italian Medicine to make children laugh and to transport parents back to their childhood kitchens so they can share their own memories of loud family gatherings, the foods of their culture, and the ingredients that make them who they are today.
