From the city that brought us Rocky, cheese steaks, and soft pretzels, comes "Gravy Wars: South Philly Foods, Feuds & Attytudes," a humorous narrative about the Italian-American culture. Laugh out loud as you read the truth about Italian traditions and superstitions, and discover a slew of scrumptious original recipes that will help you win your own kitchen competitions. Best-selling Author Lisa Scottoline calls Gravy Wars "Charming and heartwarming, and an authentic echo of growing up Italian-American. Ranalli is the real deal, and it shows!"

"Gravy Wars | South Philly Foods, Feuds & Attytudes" captures the essence of Philadelphia. We have the ability to debate, argue, and dissect the most mundane topics but always we keep our hearts open to our greatest strengths: family and friendships. - Phil Martelli, Head Coach St. Joseph's University Men's Basketball and author of Don't Call Me Coach: A Lesson Plan for Life

I love this book!

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This has been such an entertaining book. I originally saw it at my local Italian market and wondered if I could get it at the library. The library was a no go, but Amazon had a Kindle version so I bought it. It is so funny and I can't wait to make the recipes. My kitchen is under renovation, so that will have to wait, but the stories of her family are priceless and it is full of "real" recipes - ones you know someones grandmother would write down and you would have success. I'm looking forward to trying out each different recipe for "gravy."

Love this book! Easy to read, fun guide to the Italian lifestyle of South Philly. I grew up there, over 50 yrs ago, but still remember several of the Italian phrases mentioned in the book. Nice to see the Italians treated with respect, and kudos to Ms Ranalli's love of her Italian culture. Food and family....doesn't get any better than that!

We bought this for our daughter-in-law who is part of a southern Philly Italian family - they have loved every page and even recognized a number of people mentioned in the book from long ago. A great read for anyone, but especially for those raised in this area.
