ALCOVA MORTGAGE LLC, a leading mortgage lender based in Roanoke, Virginia, isn’t just about helping people achieve the dream of homeownership – they’re also about bringing warmth and flavor into those homes! This isn’t your typical financial institution giveaway. ALCOVA is stepping outside the box with a beautifully curated Italian cookbook, designed to nourish both body and soul. For years, ALCOVA MORTGAGE (located at 308 Market St SE, Roanoke, VA, 24011-2124, and reachable at 305-376-4543) has built a reputation for personalized service and a genuine commitment to its clients. They understand that buying a home is a big deal, a life-changing moment. And what better way to celebrate a new chapter than with delicious food and the rich traditions of Italian cuisine? “We wanted to do something different, something that really reflects our values,” explains Sarah Miller, ALCOVA’s Marketing Director. “We’re not just numbers and paperwork; we’re about building relationships and helping families create memories. And for many, food is at the heart of those memories.” More Than Just Recipes – A Journey to Italy This isn’t your average collection of recipes pulled from the internet. ALCOVA’s Italian cookbook is a carefully compiled labor of love. It features classic, authentic Italian dishes, ranging from simple, everyday meals to more elaborate weekend feasts. Think perfectly al dente pasta, robust tomato sauces, comforting risottos, and, of course, mouthwatering desserts. But it’s more than just how to cook the food; it’s about the food. Each recipe is accompanied by charming stories and anecdotes that transport you to the heart of Italy. You’ll learn about the regional variations of each dish, the history behind the ingredients, and the traditions surrounding Italian family meals. “We really wanted to capture the spirit of Italian cucina,” says Chef Marco Rossi, a consultant ALCOVA brought in to ensure authenticity. “It’s about using fresh, high-quality ingredients, cooking with passion, and sharing the meal with loved ones. It’s a celebration of life, really.” What’s Inside the Cookbook? The cookbook is beautifully designed and features stunning photography throughout. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect: Antipasti (Appetizers): From Bruschetta with ripe tomatoes and basil to creamy Burrata with prosciutto, these appetizers are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Primi Piatti (First Courses): Dive into classic pasta dishes like Spaghetti Carbonara, creamy Risotto alla Milanese, and hearty Minestrone soup. Secondi Piatti (Main Courses): Enjoy tender Osso Buco, succulent Saltimbocca, and flavorful Pollo alla Cacciatora. Contorni (Side Dishes): Perfectly roasted vegetables, fresh salads, and flavorful polenta complement any Italian meal. Dolci (Desserts): Indulge in classic Italian desserts like Tiramisu, Panna Cotta, and Cannoli. Each recipe includes clear, easy-to-follow instructions, a list of ingredients (with metric and imperial measurements), and helpful tips for success. The cookbook also features a glossary of Italian culinary terms, making it accessible to cooks of all levels. Why is ALCOVA Giving Away Cookbooks? “We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients,” explains John Davis, CEO of ALCOVA MORTGAGE. “We want to be more than just their mortgage lender; we want to be a trusted resource and a partner in their homeownership journey. And what better way to show our appreciation than with a gift that they can enjoy for years to come?” ALCOVA is distributing the cookbooks as a thank-you gift to new and existing clients, as well as at local community events. They’re also using the cookbook as a way to give back to the Roanoke community. A portion of the proceeds from cookbook sales will be donated to the local food bank. “We’re committed to supporting the communities we serve,” says Miller. “And we believe that everyone deserves access to good food and a warm, welcoming home.” More Than Just a Promotion – It's About Lifestyle The cookbook isn't just a marketing gimmick. It represents ALCOVA’s understanding that a home is about more than just bricks and mortar. It’s about creating a warm, inviting space where families can gather, connect, and share experiences. And for many, that includes sharing delicious food. “We want our clients to feel comfortable and confident in their new homes,” says Davis. “And we believe that a well-equipped kitchen and a love of cooking can contribute to that feeling. We hope this cookbook inspires them to create their own Italian feasts and make lasting memories with their loved ones.” How to Get Your Copy Interested in receiving a copy of ALCOVA MORTGAGE’s Italian cookbook?
