Basic Italian: Everything You Need to Live the Dolce Vita at Home (Basic Series)

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful book and results!
Review: This book delivers what it title implies. After a description of the basics you will need for making Italian food, it takes you through recipes by main ingredient.

The food is basic, the recipes are not too complicated, and the ingredients are easy to find in any standard store. My only complaint, albeit minor, is that the instructions are a little too detailed at times. This gets in the way once you figure out what they mean in the description, but ensure that your meal comes together at the same time.

Summary: Easy to follow
Review: This is a wonderful introduction to Italian cooking. The meals are authentic, and recipes easy to follow. This is a must have for simple Italian cooking, and this comes from someone who lived in Italy for 5 years.
