A disgrace to both Jews and Sicilians. A Sham. A waste of money. September 4, 2008 I couldn't find a -5 stars. The lowest I could find was 1 Star. Read on....
This is not a Jewish-Sicilian cook book. It is a combination of boring stories and Italian recipes. It is a Jewish as "Rosy O'Grady's Passover Specialties." Would any Jew buy such a piece of work? Jewish comedians excluded. They need this material more than the kitchen.
Here is an example from one of the recipies entitled "....Signature Spaghetti". 1/2 Beef bouillon cube with Parmigiano-Reggiano? What Kibbutz did this author live in? And all the other Sicilians are saying rosaries over the use of "beef bouillon cube".
The author does a disservice to both the Jewish and Sicilian community by trying to parade her writings under this title.
Don't waste your money. The book is a sham.
