Reviews"Not since Brother Lawrence taught theology while baking bread in a monastery kitchen have we had such a priest among the pots. This book is aw warm as the good Father and his pasta recipes alone will make you convert to his simple and basic Italian style. My copy is already covered with tomato sauce and wine. Wonderful! This book is totally useful and delicious." --Jeffery Smith, The Frugal Gourmet, "Not since Brother Lawrence taught theology while baking bread in a monastery kitchen have we had such a priest among the pots.
