“Well-rounded, redolent of salty sweat, sweet love, and the joy of food… A humorous and witty chronicle of a woman’s pulling-herself-up-by-her-bootstraps rise through the culinary ranks.” —Kirkus“A moving, witty memoir.” —Nigella Lawson, author of How to Eat"I laughed out loud reading The Raging Skillet. An awesome, thoughtful book full of characters I feel like I've always known." —Jacqueline Woodson, author of Brown Girl Dreaming"No chef memoir has ever made me both laugh and cry, but this one did. I fell in love with Chef Rossi, her Orthodox Jewish Jersey family, and her unpretentious, creative way with food. Badass, heartfelt, hilarious." —Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner award-winning novelist and author of Blue Plate Special"A fun ride through the wild life of Chef Rossi. Her memoir is sweet, salty, and, ultimately, delicious." —Debbie Stoller, editor in chief of Bust"Rossi's the kind of woman whose heart, humor, and badassery make me a little weak in the knees, and that's before we get to her soulful, unpretentious, joyful take on food. If Janis Joplin and Julia Child had had a baby who got raised by Orthodox Jews, that baby might have turned out a little like Rossi." —Hanne Blank, author of Big Big Love
