The Portable Italian Mamma: Guilt, Pasta, and When Are You Giving Me Grandchildren?

You’re so skinny—what have you been eating?
Have you spoken to your brothers today?
Would it kill you to go to Mass with your mother?

Everyone who has every walked into an Italian mother’s kitchen has been met with a kiss on the cheek and spoonful of her special gravy—whether you’re a relative, friend, friend of a relative, or paperboy. This book packs the kisses, sauces, and everything and anything else expected from Ma into a funny and poignant book.
