By: Peter PezzelliNo one writes about Italian-American families with the humor, warmth, and heart of Peter Pezzelli. With Francesca's Kitchen, he delivers a winning novel about how much we need the closeness of family--even if we don't know it.
Where There's Food, There's Family
For years, Francesca Campanile was the queen of her home. Standing in her Rhode Island kitchen, Francesca dispensed advice as liberally as she did the garlic, arguing nonstop with her son and two daughters. It was wonderful.
But now, her children and their children have moved away. And for the widowed Francesca, no longer having a family around to pester, annoy, guide, love, and, of course, cook for, makes her feel useless. What she needs is another family who needs her, and when she sees Loretta Simmons's ad in the Providence paper for a part-time nanny, she's sure she's found it. All the single mom wants is someone to fill in for a few hours a day. But it's obvious to Francesca that Loretta and her kids need a lot more. Loretta's struggling to make ends meet. Every man she brings home is a disaster. And her kids could definitely use some guidance--and a little lasagna, frankly. It's time for Francesca to work her magic…and the best place to start is the kitchen.
Funny and moving, with a heroine to adore, Francesca's Kitchen is a delicious story about sharing love, life, advice, and, above all, food.
"Home cooking, good pasta, and traditional family values conquer all in this amusing and touching story." --Publishers Weekly

A real masterpiece
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
One of the best books I have read in years. A real masterpiece. I read most of it on a flight from Sacramento to NY and then forgot the book in a car from the airport to the hotel... I had to wait a week before getting a second copy, which I could not put down until 1:30AM when I finally finished it. I can’t wait for the movie. A wonderful story of the life of a startup that anyone in the industry can easily relate to. While many of us know the real story behind the true events, the book keep you in full suspense the entire time. I think the author has finally found his true calling 😉

Highly recommend the book!
Format: Hardcover
I recently purchased the book.
I thought it would be nice, but I didn't expect to read it really quickly.
It turns out I didn't leave it, I didn't receive it with other books, I strove to finish it and I also enjoyed every moment.
The author - Raanan Cohen - is a man who made an exit.
It doesn't matter how much, but a lot.
So he can be calm about Nino's financial future.
But the book is not a docu.
It may be one-to-one with what happened in reality, but it is fictional and exciting and fun.
It is also a bestseller.
It doesn't come off the bookshelves, doesn't come off the sales charts.
You would expect a person that everyone wants to know more about now to be very distant.
But Raanan Cohen answers within minutes.
This is repeated in the book as well.
His character Rom Carmeli is insanely available.
But I didn't think it was about the truth.
How can an entrepreneur who has the VP of Coca-Cola, the number 3 person at Wal-Mart, and the owner of Colmobil text him and ask for a meeting - can he even answer people he doesn't know like that?
But in the end, it happens.
I sent him an email and he replied within minutes.
I sent him a WhatsApp and he replies almost seconds later.
Stressing!
I told my wife that I was afraid to send him a message. He just replies immediately and that's it.
There's no pause, no hold, he's online with you.
I recorded a podcast with Raanan.
The one thing that struck me was the availability.
It's eye level.
It's the lack of fashion in the best sense of the word.
A person who could filter without a problem, just gives you a good feeling.
Refreshing Cohen and Rom Carmeli I'm learning that a nice person doesn't have to be a sucker.
You don't have to write or talk because it's unpleasant.
If necessary, the conversation ends.
But an important / rich / powerful / ordinary person - can simply be a nice person And available.
Highly recommend the book!
