Authentic Italian food made with authentic Italian love.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bruculinu, America: Remembrances of Sicilian-American Brooklyn, Told in Stories and Recipes (Hardcover)
Vinnie's cookbooks are a recreation of the world that we grew up in, a world long gone but captured so perfectly in his pages. The recipes and stories are flowing with love and meant to be savored. I can still picture Vincent, strolling through the school hallways, a head taller than so many of the other kids, a "presence" even then. (I should have flirted with him more!) I originally bought the books because I saw his name on the covers. As I read them, they took me back to my childhood. I use them regularly because they contain the best, most authentic, delicious Italian recipes I have ever come across.

By A Customer
This review is from: Bruculinu, America: Remembrances of Sicilian-American Brooklyn, Told in Stories and Recipes (Hardcover)
Mr> Schiavelli, Thank you so much for this wonderful book. It brought me back to my childhood and the many happy memories spent around Nonna and Nonnu's dining room table. I absolutely loved this book. Thanks again for the laughter and the love. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it aloud to my husband and children.

Daughter of a Sicilian immigrant, I LOVED IT!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bruculinu, America: Remembrances of Sicilian-American Brooklyn, Told in Stories and Recipes (Hardcover)
to Mr. Scaivelli, The chapter about Nana Caterina was wonderful! When my sister read the part about the potatoes on Nana's head to my mother, my sister said "Ma, isn't that weird", while laughing loudly. To which my mother replied, very seriously,"lemons yes, but not potatoes"!!!!! We were in stiches.
