The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken

The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken
Table of Contents



Join Laura Schenone, James Beard Award-winning author of “The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken” for a ~FEAST OF RAVIOLI AND OTHER LIGURIAN SPECIALTIES~ at Farina Focaccia & Cucina restaurant. Chef Paolo Laboa will demonstrate how to make perfect ravioli as Laura recounts some of the lessons she learned in her quest for her great grandmother’s original recipe—the subject of her new memoir.

Schenone takes the reader on a journey from the grit of New Jersey’s industrial wastelands to the beautiful coast of Liguria—the family’s homeland—to discover the roots of an authentic dish. Along the way, she reveals a family story of loss and love, along with age-old culinary secrets.
