A warm and nostalgic trip through a woman's life - with excellent recipes that bring back the feelings of comfort and a life lived with joy...I loved the book and the recipes.....Have given the book to a lot of family & friends. My mother-in-law who lives in Australia and was born in New Zealand, said it was reminiscent of her life as well and that the recipes were great...

This book has nothing but delicious recipes! I've made quite a few and found them all to be quite good. There is a story in this book about Ellen Verni's family and her opinions on many different things which give you a laugh and take you back in time. The recipes are easy to read and easy to make and are all mouth watering. You'd definitly keep going back to make more and remake the one's you've come to love.

My mother is 85 years old. She is Italian. She has been cooking just about all her life (good stuff). I gave her a copy of the book. She called me to say it is wonderful and she wanted to buy a few copies to give as gifts.

She liked the content - the recipies; she loved the stories which set the stage for and support the recipies; and she laughed out loud at the illustrations.

I don't cook. But I loved reading the book.

Tasty recipes, heartfelt essays and illustrations to make you smile are a winning combination. Buy this book! It's a winner!

I hardly know the French Chef from the Cajun Cook but I know good writing when I see it and Ellen has all the ingredients-wit,personality and the ability to tell a tale,to cook up a book good enough to eat! Even someone who boils hot dogs gets the urge to do some creative cooking after reading this book.Friends,family,food...three things everyone loves and everyone will love this book . This is a first rate writer cooking up a recipe for reading enjoyment. And I pretty much know something is good the first time I read it so I won't be changing my review tomorrow.
