Classic Italian Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Magnificent food
Review: I cooked Osso Buco alla Milanese, Fagiolini al Pomodoro and Patate al Forno from recipes in this book. Together with Italian bread, a nice little wine, a simple green salad and dessert, it was a superb meal.

Ask Dorling Kindersley to rush this wonderful cookbook back into print so your dinner guests will say you're a culinary genius.

Summary: exquisite Italian cookbook
Review: The most fantastic things about this cookbook is that you can get detailed information about dishes (with Italian name), regional background, basic ingredients and tools with pictures, and cooking techniques how to deal with fishes and meats and how to make pasta and pizza with these ingredients and tools. The content is very organized, not too overwhelming, and easy to look them up. If you are an intermediate-level cook and ready to move on to the next stage (but you don't want to be overwhelmed by the professional cookbook), this is the one!

Summary: This book is perfect!
Review: This is my favorite Italian cookbook. The illustrations are wonderful and the directions are perfectly clear. The Pasta Vongole and Tiramisu are a couple of my favorite recipes.
This book is particularly good if you are a beginner.
