Liked It“No trashy romance, no lessons to learn, just a lot of good laughs and good writing. The reviews were right; it reads like a Canterbury tale or a bawdy anti-Candide. The wit is sly, the pictures are vivid, and the plot is hilarious.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It“Very strange book. At times it was interesting because it was so wierd, but otherwise not worth the read. The first book "La Cucina" was so much better. This one is just bizare.” see full review » see other reviews » |
“Funny, wacky and ultimately we couldn't decide whether we liked it or not. Who was Ramona? Did she learn from her life? Will her daughter Blandina follow in her steps? Food that smelled good--- lots of Italian! and a wicked chocolate cake!”
