Sandra MontaninoBy the age of eight, Sandra Montanino, lived in three different countries. Born into a large Italian, Basque, and Panamanian family, these rich exposures immersed her into a wealth of cultures, languages, provincial superstitions, and an endless fascnation with her family of storytellers. The stories enriched her life and ignited her imagination. The Original Recipe was an article featured in Ancestry Magazine about her family's obsession with who makes the best pasta sauce. Sandra found that her treasure chest of tales, mystical superstitions, adventures, and wisdom came from her own family and she has committed to print for everyone to enjoy. Sandra's longtime husband Gennaro comes from a family originating in Naples and was born into the immigrant world of Manhattan's Little Italy. From his experiences and those of his family, she is now compiling these stories for another book. Together she and her husband have five children and fourteen grandchildren and while they lived in Southern California for most of their lives, they now reside in Provo, Utah. Read More Read Less
