Elizabeth Hewson"I could not have had the confidence to write Saturday Night Pasta without the guidance, knowledge and mentorship of Sfoglina Julia and Chef Pino. They helped me hone my skills and were always on hand to answer any questions I had about pasta making. Julia also lent her expertise to the final manuscript, reading through the book ensuring all facts, steps and descriptions were correct. This helped wipe any pre-publishing jitters about releasing my book to the world. I highly recommend working with Grano & Farina on all parts of the book writing process."
