NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER
Mama Tried: Traditional Italian Cooking for the Screwed, Crude, Vegan, and Tattooed Overview
Mama Tried is art + food.
Cecilia Granata grew up cooking with her family in Italy. As a vegan, she learned to adapt her favorite recipes from around the country to be animal-free while retaining the flavor and feeling of true Italian home cooking.
She shares her commitment to ethical and artful eating in this alphabetically-arranged volume with over 100 recipes, ranging from traditional favorites to homemade liqueurs to aphrodisiacs—all “senza sofferenza,” without suffering. The recipes are lushly illustrated with Granata’s food-inspired tattoo art.

Editorial Reviews
“Mama Tried by Cecilia Granata is a successful marriage between a vegan cookbook and a work of art.
Nestled among traditional Italian recipes such as Carciofi Trifolati (Pan Roasted Artichokes) and Flan Al Cioccolato (Chocolate Fondant) are gorgeous illustrations that are reminiscent of the same style as vintage Jerry Sailor Tattoos.
Only better, because they’re telling a vegan story.
Every detail of this book is meticulously hand-drawn. The recipes are easy-to-read and easy-to-follow, perfect for cooks with even the most minor kitchen experience.
Mama Tried is not only cool to look at with all of the artwork on every page; it’s packed with simple, authentic Italian recipes, too. It would make a great addition to any cookbook collection.” – KD Angle-Traegner, Your Daily Vegan
