Author, journalist, and instructor, Janice Therese Mancuso is the founder of Thirty-One Days of Italians, a nationwide educational program that promotes Italian American history and culture. She is the author of Herbed-Wine Cuisine: Creating and Cooking with Herb-Infused Wines and, most recently, Con Amore, a culinary novel with Italian regional foods, the history of Italy, and recipes.

The owner of a floral design business, Janice is an adjunct college business instructor (distance learning and seated classes) and continuing education instructor, and recently switched to teaching only continuing education courses in cooking and floral design, developing a how-to-start your own business course for each. She is the previous owner of a gift shop, a wholesale floral design business, and a catering/specialty food company. For several years, she developed recipes for specialty food manufacturers.

Janice has taught numerous floral design workshops, conducted many cooking demonstrations, including an appearance on the Food Network’s In Food Today, and has lectured on various topics of Italian and Italian American culture and history. She received her M.B.A from Adelphi University.
