Luring, Exciting, Humorous, Educational -- Bruno Tambellini takes us through a journey in his mind that makes us ponder, laugh out loud, tear up and read the wisdom of an immigrant who has lived a fulfilled life. Hot Sausage: My Adventure, Not a Cookbook -- is titled humorously as are the 22 chapters divided into three parts. There are moments that read like a diary where the reader has a rare insight into the nap-loving food connoisseur -- who has lived through decades of change, happiness and even pain in a way that makes the reader realise, through the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we'll get through this too. Bruno's honesty, vulnerability and self-reflection lets his family and loved ones have a rare glimpse into his opinions, thoughts and emotions. And for those not related to Bruno, provides an opportunity to see parallels in their own lives too. A sweet portrayal of a man who worked hard, has more thoughts written than ever expressed verbally and reminds us all to hug when we can because it's more intimate than a handshake.
