"This book is about much more than just food: every bite has a story. Caroline’s family recipe rolodex is filled with color, warmth and love. She was born to write a book like this, covering all the Italian-American staples she shares with her family and friends as they linger at her table. Caroline, if I am ever invited to your house for dinner, I am certain you will never get me to leave."
—Dan Pelosi, author of Let’s Eat
"Let’s talk about Caroline Manzo. She’s the person who brings you her delicious homemade chicken soup to one of your book signings when you aren’t feeling well. She’s my lemon-drop drinking partner who’s always ready to laugh and have great conversations around a table full of good food. I’m so excited for this book, which is long overdue. And I promise, if she’s ever at one of her book signings and isn’t feeling well, I will whip up a batch of her chicken soup and bring it to her. After all, that’s what friends are for!"
—Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author
"Food & Other Things I Love brought me back into Caroline's kitchen like the old days on Bravo with a lens into all the time she spent in the kitchen cooking all those family feasts. This book transports you into the Italian-American kitchen you've always dreamed of with sticky notes to help along the way. My favorite touch is to make your apron your own and wear it confidently because you are the kitchen queen and who said the kitchen isn't fashionable!"
—Edy Massih, owner of Edy's Grocer and author of Keep It Zesty
