Reviews
"Glorious food from an engaging family – informative, fascinating, moving and delicious" – Claudia Roden
"Food and family stories are the best way, perhaps the only way, to begin to unravel the intricate history of the Jews of Italy. This is a brilliant book to cook from and, as you do that, get a glimpse into a community more than two millennia old" – Yotam Ottolenghi
“Silvia lives and breathes the Italian food of her family and their forbears, she has carefully researched the provenance of each dish, and lends great authenticity and exuberance to every single page of this book. Brava!” – Joan Nathan
“Don’t buy one copy – buy two (that caponata is to die for)!” – Gil Hovav
