Summary: Great addition to your culinary library!
Review: I received this book as a gift for my Birthday last year. I loved the recipes, photos and the sprinkles of the author's life and tradition mixed in. The recipes are straightforward and easy to create. It is a lovely addition to my culinary library and I?ve added some of her rich tradition to my holiday feasts. I may not be Italian, but I can certainly cook it! If you are looking for an authentic Italian cookbook, with ?out of the ordinary? dishes that are perfect for entertaining as well as sitting down to some everyday ?good old fashioned comfort food? then this one is extraordinary.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: There is nothing in this book you can't find better explained somewhere else. In fact, you should know a fair amount about Italian cooking before you try any of the recipes, because otherwise who knows what you'll end up with. Not that there are very many recipes; instead you get lots and lots of relatively vapid filler in the guise of homespun advice and memories by family members. "Sirio Speaks," but who cares? For this much money, stick to Lidia Bastianich. You'll get better food and it will turn out well, too.
