Praise for Pasta Love

“Jaclyn loves pasta! This is a delightful book, not only for the words but also for the truly lovely illustrations by the very talented Felicita Sala. Jaclyn has solved a couple of mysteries for me, and anyone searching for an explanation of anything to do with pasta will be certain to find it in this book. As well she has sought out and included the personal pasta stories of many nonnas who have been making their favourite pasta shapes for many, many years. I cannot wait to try some of the pasta recipes included.”

“Jaclyn understands the power of pasta, and of stories. Here she celebrates both, with tenderness and technique in equal measure. If you like Pasta Grannies, you’ll love Pasta Love. This book is something to learn from, and to treasure. ”

“Jaclyn Crupi’s book, Pasta Love is the vero affare (real deal) and essential reading for all pasta fans. ”
