Hollywood Stars!

In the hectic public relations business you do not get the opportunity to settle down and relax. I started reading this book and could not put it down. The history and human touches made each recipe uniquely special. I have cooked them and believe me my family is raving about each meal. I was never known for my cooking, but now I am the cook with the book that is making everyone pay me a compliment. When Hollywood stars come to town on a Public Relations tour, I hand them this book so they too can enjoy the local flavors of the Italian Market. They love it. Now everyone can be a Hollywood star with this book. It really is tops!

Love Italian Style!

This book has it all. Good Taste and a hearty insight into the history of a place and it's people. It is both real and wonderful. It captures that eating is a passion and how it makes life more flavorful. The Italian Market comes alive with an aroma of excitement and the recipes recall a time when I was young and Grandmom made foods that filled my tummy and warmed my heart. I am a native to the area and enjoyed reading the book and trying out some of the unique family Italian comfort foods. The bood took me on a tour that is a recipe for success. Celeste Marello gives us so much here. VIVA AMORE!

Bada Bing!!

If you're Italian-American (or, like me, just wish you were) and love your local Little Italy, you'll enjoy this romp through the taste buds of my favorite neighborhood in my favorite city. Ms. Morello proves that Italian-American cooking is more than just a race through red sauce. The recipes are easy to follow (they have to be, considering they're made for the busy families of the local merchants) and tasty. When you're finished reading this book, you'll have a better appreciation of how food can bind a community together AND you'll want to dash to the kitchen to start cooking.
