So I wanted to learn Italian.

Saw a book at the thrift store: "Everyday Italian"

Put it in the shopping cart.

Got home.

IT'S A COOKBOOK.




(Mostly) true story.

Va bene.

An old (is there any other kind?) twilight zone episode

TO SERVE MAN. A manuscript from outerspace. Which also was a cookbook. Loved that whacky rod serling.

A pretty popular cookbook, most of the cooks I’ve worked with praise her

I think I have a copy, but may have passed it along to an aspiring chef in training
