There's No Place Like Home...: In Search of Lost Ravioli Recipes

Laura Schenone's wonderful new book, The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken, A Search for Food and Family, is a lot of things, a woman's quest for family and recipes, certainly, but it's something more. On some level, Schenone seems to be like so many others of us in midlife, a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz--full of longing, the desire for something authentic. In Schenone's case, though instead of the challenges along the yellow brick road, hers were to seek [her] own culinary roots.."[a] desire for an inner life where advertising could not reach. Desire for religion. Time was running out." Join me between 12:05 and 1:00 p.m. for a conversation with Laura Schenone, and for an opportunity to receive a copy of Laura's book during an on-air book giveaway.
