 Rating:  - An Italian ClassicI think that this is one of my favourite recipe books ever!! I love Italian food and this book has it all. Really simple sauces and marinades to much more complex cookery. If ever we are stuck for an idea for dinner this book is always picked up first, I would highly recommend it! Rating: - Wonderful - just beware the quantitiesThere are some reviews of this fabulous cook book which complain about the poor translation, the fact that the book isn't in Engish alphabetical order, that the quantities aren't precise enough ... You're safe to ignore all these quibbles provided you accept the basis on which this cookebook was created. It was designed to guide (young) Italians who were starting to lose their traditional roots in national cuisine and to help them know just how to make high quality food. For this audience it isn't necessary to give exact quantities or lengths of time ... they just know. And after working with this cookery book, you'll get to know these things too.

He even had it rebound a few years back. During his life he ran a hotel in Rome and cooked for cardinals that came there from the vatican using recipes from the Silver spoon.

Risotto with carrots for example is fantastically creamy as the carrot is pureed. Highly ...

More importantly, every recipe has worked. Rating: - Best Italian cook bookThis is an excellent book with over 2000 authentic recipes (some are very authentic - there's a whole section on brains!) The recipes are, typically of Italian food, simple and easy to follow. There is also a small section at the back with some more complicated recipes from famous Italian chefs. All in all a top book you're not likely to get bored with quickly. |
