Review: Nice collection of family recipes

This is a nice little cookbook. I like that the author shared little tidbits of his family with us. I have only ever cooked very basic italian dishes and am anxious to expand my menu choices. I like the manicotti recipe as I have only ever had it as a stuffed pasta not a crepe. I will definately be trying that one.I'd give it 5 stars but there are quite a few typos and some of the measurements are not specific enough. For example one recipe says "1/2 bread crumbs" - I'm assuming that should be 1/2 cup? Another calls for "1/2 can of plum tomatoes" ~ what size can? An example of a typo is seeing the word "beard" when I think the correct word should have been "bread."Overall I would recommend the book.
