Can you make a perfect Neapolitan Parmigiana using only pure imagination and a 71-euro microphone?Giovanni Postiglione used to be an assistant chef. Now, he's an unemployed father of two teenagers, facing a fridge full of empty space and a table piled with overdue bills. To survive in an expensive world, he hooks up a microphone bought on Amazon and creates Radio Sugo 102 FM Stereo-a web radio station where he pretends to cook magnificent dishes, mimicking the sizzle of frying oil and the crunch of pastry dough by drumming his fingers on a polished wooden table.
His makeshift Foley artistry completely wins over the neighborhood ladies, sparking a brilliant, desperate idea: The Radio Sugo Cooking Show. The deal? Giovanni provides the radio magic and the culinary know-how; the ladies bring the actual, delicious ingredients. What starts as a hilarious survival tactic quickly turns into a local phenomenon, moving from Giovanni's living room straight to a high-tech showroom window on Tiburtina Street.
But when corporate radio tycoon Enrico Trudi hits them with a massive lawsuit, Giovanni, his sharp-witted kids, and a chaotic crew of neighborhood cooks will have to prove that art, family, and a true love for cooking can defeat any corporate giant. Filled with laugh-out-loud fake commercials, heartwarming family dynamics, and the authentic spirit of Italian cuisine, Long Live Ragù is a delicious comedy about finding flavor in life even when you run out of eggs.
Suitable for readers aged 9 to 12-and anyone who knows that happiness is all about how much love you pour into getting the pasta just right!
