"The stories, photos and recipes in "The Pastabilities" Cookbook, provide me with fond memories of visiting Marguerite Oliver at her restaurant in Kerrytown, Ann Arbor.  I loved seeing Marguerite's smiling and welcoming face and the wonderful aromas streaming throughout her restaurant.  Marguerite willingly shared her vast knowledge about the various flavorful dishes she prepared, and with my Italian heritage, makes me very appreciative of this cookbook.  It is written by Marguerite's daughter Susan, and combines many of their favorite and cherished recipes.  The recipes are very delicious, and easy to follow.  A great book to share with family and friends!
