Customer Reviews

Excellent assortment of recipes from the state.

I liked the references to the many diverse restaurants in our state. I really liked the recipes especially Rocky Point Chowder which is one of our favorites.

Cookbook

I just LOVE this cookbook...besides the wonderful receipes there is a bit of history behind them. In fact I bought a few of them for gifts! You will not be disappointed.

Awsome Cookbook!!!

Ever since my husband and I moved away from RI the thing I miss most is the food. This book is fantastic! It makes me less homesick every time we make one of the dishes in the book, most of them are right on the money when it comes to taste. I highly recomend this wicked cool cookbook!!

Thanks for the memories.....

I have purchased this book for my brothers because it contains the recipes from our youth....and for my children, so that I can write anecdotes for them and keep the memories alive. This nostalgic collection of 'famous RI recipes' is just the best!

Authentic recipes, best gift for ex-Rhode Island relatives

This book provides a good introduction of the state to the first time visitor to Rhode Island, as well as authentic recipes. It was also a welcome gift to my homesick aunt in California...

From Gaggers to Kwah Hawgs-this one's got it all!

Being a native Rhode Islander transplanted to New York I found myself missing the old RI grub. I longed for "tree all da way" and Palmieri's Pizza Strips and a cold Del's, but to no avail. Nothing here compares to a weiner from Olneyville. Are these recipes exact duplicates? Not quite, but close enough to take the edge off the homesickness. I highly recommend this book to any lost Rhode Islanders longing for home-even just a taste of it. Just the names conjure up memories of Providence and the ocean--Silver Lake Pizza, Coffee Milk, Lemon Squares and Zeppoles, Rhode Island Clear Chowda or Buddy Cianci's Marinara Sauce. Now--if I could just figure out how to make Allie's Doughnuts.....
