And One Book I Liked But Didn’t Finish
The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken: A Search for Food and Family by Laura Schenone.
I only read a chapter or two, and then had to put it down. Because it was excellent! Counterintuitive, you say? Why, no!
Schenone’s writing about homemade ravioli was so stunningly delicious, drool-worthy in fact, that I couldn’t read more than a few pages without wanting homemade pasta of my own. Not the easiest sort of food to get on a Caribbean beach. So, I’m back home, and already plotting to read this one with a friend. Because I know she’ll love some great food writing… and maybe she’ll let me get at her pasta maker too. Because, really, it’s just torturous to read this one without having the real thing close to hand!
