But things get more complicated as she reunites with relatives and digs up buried family stories. Taking readers from New Jersey's industrial wastelands and fast-paced suburbs to the coast of Liguria--homeland of her ancestors and of ravioli--<em>The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken</em> is a story of the comedies and foibles of family life, of love and loss, of old homes and new, and of the mysteries of pasta, rolled on a pin into a perfect circle of gossamer dough.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] solidly researched, lovingly written memoir--and a splendid detective story...This wonderfully intricate, rumpled, generous narrative would be a joy even without the final lagniappe of about two dozen hard-won recipes.--Anne Mendelson "Saveur"<br><br>A culinary detective story, a family confessional, and a moving meditation on assimilation and authenticity.--Vicki Hyman "Star-Ledger (New Jersey)"<br><br>Fascinating and memorable.--Julie Kronenfel "Elle"<br><br>Lovely.-- "Entertainment Weekly"<br><br>This is [a] feast for the mind and the heart, as well as the palate.--Newsweek "Peg Tyre"<br>
