The Mother-In-Law Cure is a sumptuous story that is a feast for the senses.
Through courtship, culture clashes, marriage, and motherhood, Katherine comes to appreciate carnale, the quintessentially Neapolitan sense of comfort and confidence in one\'s own skin.
Unexpectedly falling for Salvatore, and captivated by Raffaella\'s companionship and guidance, Katherine discovers how to prepare meals that sing--from hearty, thick rag to comforting pasta al forno.
