Other vendors in horse-drawn wagons would be chanting their wares amid the song of the ragman's bell and the iceman's bellow. Growing up in this place was like having one foot in mid-twentieth-century United States and the other in mid-eighteenth-century Sicily."

Loved this book. If you have sicilian ancestry,this is a must read.No matter where your ancestors settled,this story will resonate with you! Fabulous!
The author/actor's stories are heartwarming and transport you back to your childhood. Thankfully he includes all the recipes he speaks of,because you will salivate when he tells you of these special family dishes that most of us of sicilian ancestry can remember oh so well.
Great read!Memories galore! ( )

I'm not the gourmet type, and I'm an extremely bad cook, but these recipes are so enthralling and baroque and full of love and memories that I immediately tried my hand at spaghetti. Unfortunately, enthusiasm was not enough. The author is an Italian American actor, you can see him in several movies by Milos Forman, Martin Scorsese and other famous directors. ( )
