  "This book is magnificent!" 

 Dear Ron:

 I loved this book.  The stories were great and well

 put  together.  When the book arrived, I was watching

 a golf match.  I planned to read the book later.

 I picked it up and  read a couple of pages and could

 not put the book down.  I  finished the book right

 away.  Many times I had to get up to  tell my wife

 about a part I read.  I especially liked the story  about

 the tobasco sauce bottle and only the one holding it

 could talk.  I laughed a lot.  I think everyone has

 some sort of connection  and affection to Italians

 or Italian cooking.  I loved the stories.

 I like the flow of the stories and the way they

 worked into the recipes.  I think you have a hit.

 This book is magnificent!

"I could not put the book down"

Dear Ron:

I thought the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul was

great.  You out did yourself.  It was first class.  I

could not put the book down.  I had an appointment

that I delayed because I wanted to continue reading.

I can't say enough about the book.  It was stupendous!

Pasta Fazool for the Soul  was well written and what

a great concept with personal stories intertwined

with the recipes.  A little like when Harry met

Sally (movie) only better.  I laughed in several

places like when your mother misnamed Ellen for

years.  Congratulations on a wonderful production

with your new publication.  I really enjoyed it.

You and your family can be very proud!

Most sincerely,

"I absolutely loved Pasta Fazool for the Soul"

I absolutely loved Pasta Fazool for the Soul.  It was

funny and I didn't think that my family was normal

and found out that we are all practically the same! 

Whenever I go to visit my grandmother, I usually

read her one or two stories from your book.  She

laughs hysterically.  When my mom reads to her the

stories, she laughs too.  It is great to hear her laugh.

"I cannot wait for the Newsletter"

Dear Ron:

I read the book and loved the stories.  The recipes are

easy to follow and I cannot wait until my next dinner party.

I think I will serve pasta fazool and pizza.  What I especially

like is the easy to pronounce approach you took with the

Italian words.  This way, we can all enjoy and understand.

Thanks again, I cannot wait for the Pasta Fazool newsletter.

Dear Ron:

I loved the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul.

I loved the holiday stories.  I loved the Italian

culture which is being lost today.  It seems with

book was very enjoyable to read.

Dear Ron:

I loved the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul.  I could

not put the book down.  Every time I read a new chapter

 there was another great story.  The stories were

wonderful.  This is a great book.  Anyone who gets it

"Felt like she connected with the author"

Dear Ron:

I loved the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul.  I read it and

decided to take it to work with me at M.I.T.

One of my co-workers read parts of it and loved it.

She decided to purchase two copies.  One for her

and someone she knows.  Another of my co-workers

ordered two copies and said that she felt like she

connected with the author and felt like she knew

you.  I loved the book and loved the stories.

My favorite story was about your mother on

her death bed and you asking for her recipes.

Then she said, "not now."  I liked when you said,

"if not now, when?"  It made me laugh.

"I went crazy, couldn't put it down"

Dear Ron:

I loved the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul.  I went crazy!

I couldn't put it down all day at work and kept choking

up.  I will be sending in an order.  I just have to figure

out how many to buy.  My Italian receptionist spent half

the day making copies of the recipes to try.  I have at

least two women who actually own Italian restaurants

in the Boston North End who want copies.  I feel like

giving it to everyone I know for Christmas.  Thank you.

I will be getting back to you soon.

"Italian men were treated like kings"

Dear Ron:

I loved the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul.  I loved the 

stories.  My daughter was wondering what I was

laughing at when I was reading the book.  I related 

when the Italian men were treated like kings, especially

when your aunts were kissing the windows of your

car as you left the town.  I really enjoyed the story

of your 79 year old aunt who climbed the tree to 

get you nuts.  Great book!

"Sparked great childhood memories"

Dear Ron:

I loved Pasta Fazool for the Soul.  My grandmother

Annette taught me how to cook, but she never liked

to put it in writing, so for me, it is all memorized in my

head.  The stories are wonderful and sparked great

childhood memories.  Pasta Fazool for the Soul will be

on my gift giving list this holiday season.  Such a value.

As I read the book, I laughed, laughed and laughed.  Plus

the food is outstanding.  I cannot wait for Pasta Fazool for

the Soul, the second edition!

I really loved the book Pasta Fazool for the Soul. 

I loved the stories.  My favorite story was when

no one wanted to get up when everyone was

to get something.  That was the same thing that

happened in my own family growing up.

Great job!

"Wonderful book"

Dear Ron:

I loved your book Pasta Fazool for the Soul.

It is a wonderful book.  It was excellent. The stories were really

funny. It was full of love. I am enjoying it.  I read it twice. Because

of your book, I went shopping to stock up on eggs,

Romano cheese and bell peppers.  I had done the

tomato in oil recipe from the book already two times

and tonight I did the frittata recipe.  It was great!

I also enjoyed the stories of your growing up and

of your family.  I used to hear about families like yours

when I lived back East, but not too many people talk

about them out here in California.  When I used to visit

my Polish grandmother, you couldn't leave her house

without eating.  She would actually place her body in

front of the door to block your escape until you "Ate

More Food!"  This book reminded me of that.

I love to read recipes and books like this.

"We had our first Pasta Fazool party"

Dear Ron:

We had our first Pasta Fazool party!

What a blast.  We danced all night to the

tarantella and mambo Italiano.  Good food, a nice

wine and great music was the recipe for our

night of fun.  Of course I made the  Pasta Fazool

recipe right out of the book!  It was the big hit

of the night.  I also made the pizza.

Thanks for Pasta Fazool for the Soul!!!
