Just like back in the day! I loved reading the anecdotes about family and food. Reminds me growing up with my grandmother, mom and her sisters. Food plays a really big roll in immigrant families; I'm the only one left who preserves and cooks my families foods and have passed to my daughter! I so enjoyed the stories. The recipes sound wonderful, too, and I look forward to trying them out in the future.

we all love our mama's cooking. This book talks about the mama chefs who are famous in the food industry and their recipes.

I adore cookbooks with added backstory. Stanley Tucci is one of my favorite actors and that was one of my favorite excerpts in the book.
