The sheer amount of information included in the book is impressive on its own-each recipe comes complete with a soundtrack and recommended book or film...This book could be a course for college credit, and should be.

This is a book you'll want to spend time with, put down, pick up, splatter sauce on, plan parties from, and share with everyone you know."
