Italian Cooking Encyclopedia

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I picked this cookbook up and looked at it when someone brought it in at work, I was so impressed with the overall book that I ordered it for my Father-In-Law for Christmas. The beautifully laid out recipes and pictures make it easy to understand what your final dish should look like. The Italian terms may throw you a little but you usually can figure out what it means. Very nice sections on pasta, vegetables, rice & grains and apertifs are very educational. My father-in-law will be thrilled with this.

Summary: MOLTO BENE!
Review: This book has true, authentic Italian recipes that taste out of this world! I especially like all the information provide about the various pastas, cheeses, herbs, etc. The recipes are wonderful but most are not for the novice cook. If you love Italian food and love to cook, definitely try to find a copy of this book!

Review: This cookbook is a delight - beautiful pictures, clear directions, and marvelous results. All the recipes I have made from this book have been a success, especially the bolognese sauce. The "picture-book" section about pastas, cheeses, spirits, and such is a great visual guide to elements of Italian cooking. The only drawback is the author's tendency to use Italian terms without explaning what they are, but with a little brainpower, the term becomes clear. A great addition to a food library.
