review 1: This is a quick, fun read that will stay with you for a surprisingly long time. I was hooked from the beginning because I have my own almost 94 year old Sicilian grandfather. But I was delighted by her tone and the stories of her childhood in Melrose Park, and I was amazed by the recipes she shares. It really puts life in perspective to read about families storing meat in the snow before they had iceboxes and using the dandelion leaves in their yards to make a tasty salad. Her stories and simple, fresh recipes are at the same time thought-provoking, challenging, lighthearted, and fun.
review 2: Clara is thee cutest Grandma. This book is filled with her depression era recipes that are practical and delicious. Its was great reading how they rarely threw anyth... moreing out back then and how they survived on so little. The best part was hearing just how happy her and her family were, often not even realizing how much they were doing without. My generation could surely learn a lot from this cute little book. less
