Funny Italian stuff.

Very funny, accurate if you are of Italian origin, and great recipes. I have ordered 2, and am about to order a third for my Mom to give to one of her Italian lady friends.
Gift for an Italian Mama
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book as a Mother's Day gift for my Italian mama (who also has her own Italian mama) and it seemed to be a really big hit! She couldn't stop reading it to us at the dinner table and it had both us and my sister cracking up because it was so true! Haven't asked her how the book is since but she seemed to love it.
