Review
"An enchanting guide though the calendar of Italian holidays. . . . A cookbook that offers more than just good food."—Booklist
"Anyone who has even a touch of Italian in them—by heritage, proximity, or choice—should run, not walk, to the nearest bookstore to get a copy of Festa. It is, indeed, a ‘feast,’ from the author’s very personal sharing of stories, traditions, and feelings to the very practical journey she takes you on, giving you a taste of the holidays celebrated by Italians, along with their origins, observances, and foods."—Antoinette Bosco, Litchfield County Times
"Barolini’s book is a journey of discovery . . . the personal memoir of a sensitive woman [that is] filled with the sights, sounds, and joys of a host of characters shopping, sharing recipes, cooking, and eating."—Gerald Etter, Philadelphia Inquirer
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Festa: Recipes and Recollections of Italian Holidays (Paperback)
This lively book of recipes & remembrances of Italian holidays thoughout the year reminded me of my Sicilian grandmother's traditions. Well-written, informative, & fun! I enjoyed reading it & actually use it from time to time.
