"What a great deal. I already have Night of the 7 Fishes, and I have ordered both of the others. I'm planning to give the Mediterranean diet a try to lose at least 10 pounds.

I was reading in a magazine the other day about what someone's Italian family used to eat on Sunday afternoons. It was pasta, roast lamb or pork, a platter of broccoli rabe or other green vegetable, a salad, and fruit for dessert.

She said she realized only in adulthood that none of her family was overweight. She believes it was because they ate simple, wholesome food that tasted really good. Nobody had cravings afterwards, nobody felt deprived. It makes sense."

"I love Mike and I want more cookbooks!!! These authentic Italian recipes are a rare treat and a true tribute to folk lore, nostalgia, and family. I love cook books that have a personal touch because making food is more than ingredients, it’s about memories and sharing, culture and community. You can taste the love, joy, tears, and life in these recipes.

Thank you Mike for sharing these gifts from your upbringing with us. I look forward to more."
