Tough question but ravioli these days, especially here in New York, is a seriously incredibly delicious food. There are certainly some of you out there who were subjected to the canned variety.. echhhhh... sorry for you... but this is a blog about books so how have I been going on about puppies and now ravioli? I'm not explaining the puppies (just look at the pictures) but the ravioli interest was sparked by a book: The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken by Laura Schenone who won a James Beard award for A Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove. The book is a quest for a family recipe and it's a wonderful memoir of family connections and difficulties and food and obsession. Particularly seductive is that Schenone's Italian roots are in Liguria, a place very different from red sauce Italy. This is the land of basil and potatoes and walnuts and wild greens and a very special ravioli (think Christmas and birthdays... not anyone's birthday but a husband or better yet, a favorite son.) I admit to having personal knowledge of Genoese ravioli and I'm thrilled that Columbus's home town will finally come out of the culinary shadows. The book's out in November and if the finished book follows the galley, the cover is bright red with lines of...ravioli!
