She served six years as president of the Italian American Women's Club; is Editor of the Italian Workmen's Club
monthly publication, ITALIA, and writes a monthly food column, Cook's Exchange, for
the Wisconsin State Journal. Her books, a taste of memories from the old "Bush," Volumes I and II; and a taste of memories from Columbus Park, Volume III, received the 1991 and 1993 Book Award of Merit from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, and placed First in the Midwest in the annual Tabasco Community Cookbook Competition. Her most recent compilation, Recipes of a Lifetime, published by the Wisconsin State Journal, intersperses food with reflections of personal, local and regional historical past. Another Book is the Grandmothers of Greenbush: Recipes and Memories of the Old Greenbush Neighborhood, 1900 - 1925. Featured are women who gave birth during the first quarter of the century to become future grandmothers of the Greenbush neighborhood. Included are recipes passed on by their Italian, Jewish, Black, Irish and German families who lived together in harmony, sharing the common bond of few possessions, yet blessed with an abundance of family love, respect, and good food.
