"Mateo Lane is the most talented person I Know. I once witnessed him make the best Cacio Pepe I've ever had while simultaneously drawing a picture of The Little Mermaid. All while holding my 3 year old daughter and teaching her how to sing opera. I call him Bobby Slay"--Chris DiStefano, Comedian
"Matteo Lane is a liar. In the pages of Your Pasta Sucks, he repeats that he has no business writing a cookbook, all while masterfully (and hilariously) weaving an intricate tale of food and family and schooling the reader in the flavors, traditions, and techniques of Rome, Sicily, and his own Italian-American kitchen."--Katie Parla, author of Food of the Italian Islands
