Memories Worthy of Life ...,

This review is from: The Classic Dolci of the Italian Jews, A World of Jewish Desserts (Hardcover)
This second volume of Servi-Machlin's Italian Jewish series is an undiscovered classic, and an early comer to the burgeoning "memoirs a cuisine" genre that has since swept us all up. (Think "Under the Tuscan Sun," "Chocolat," and "Like Water for Chocolate"). Machlin's anecdotes of Jewish Italian life prior to WWII are heartwarming, and given the subsequent history, poignant. Most of the people Machlin describes were literally swept away with little or no warning. This book, and its predecessor (The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews - available from Amazon!), have a special place in my collection, as much as for their historical value as for their wonderful meals and desserts, and the characters will always have a special place in my heart.
