Italian Cooking for Dummies

This is a great recipe book. I am Italian and I cook regularly. When I checked few of my signature recipes, I was impressed by the fact that they added all my little tricks and touches! I keep buying this book to give it as a gift to my friends.

This is a very informative and easy to follow reference for cooking Italian foods. I love the explanations for cheese types, wines, espresso, herbs and etc. This really helps me to understand what products to buy and how to buy them. The information on reading the labels olive oil was eye opening. I have tried a couple of the recipes and they are yummy and simple. I am hooked on the Asparagus with Parmesan and egg! It sounded rather weird but I tried it and absolutely love it, especially when I am in a hurry and hungry. I am so glad I have this cook book as a resource.

I read this book cover to cover as soon and I received it and I learned a lot.

The Bible - I have used this as a reference point since it was published .I have presented these recipes to people who believe they can cook Italian Foods of which there is not such thing ....Read the book ...80 years in Food Service this is the best basics writings

Cute book. Easy to read. Haven't tried the recipes yet.

I HAVE QUITE A BIT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE PREPARATION OF ITALIAN FOOF AND FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE A GREAT REVIEW . I BELIVE THIS BOOK HAS SOMETHING FOR US HOME COOKS .

Good beginner book. Like the tips and explanations they gave me. I would recommend. this to all beginners and people who want to learn to cook Italian.

Excellent. If you want the ins and outs of Italian cooking, this is the book!

learning Italian cooking is a lot of fun. I only wish that instead of having a recipe for things like risotto and pizza, calzones, etc, he had a simple recipe with variants so if you want to cook it you could follow the recipe one week and try one of the variants again. the next week.
