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. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"In the early 1950s, Bruculinu, as the Sicilian immigrants called their Brooklyn neighborhood, was a remarkable place. If the weather was fair, the streets would be teeming with life. Women would be haggling with pushcart vendors in Sicilian and broken English over pieces of fruits and vegetables. 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." So begins Vincent Schiavelli's captivating story of coming of age in the Italian section of Brooklyn. In a series of witty vignettes, Schiavelli describes the social customs and secret recipes he learned from his grandfather, a Sicilian master chef, as well as the tenements, gangs, dances, holiday celebrations, and funerals that defined the culture of the neighborhood.
