I'm a huge mushroom fan when it comes to food, so when I received this book as a present I was over the moon. The book is split into two sections, the first deals with identifying wild mushrooms and which are the best for eating, and the second part contains the recipes.
The recipes are great and very accessible. I haven't been on a mushroom hunt yet, but my local greengrocer regularly stocks wild mushrooms, so I've had the chance to try a few of the recipes, and very good they are too.

This is, without a doubt, the difinitive guide to what to do now you own a pasta machine. My only complaint is that it lacks some of the great photography that marks modern cookery writing (see the "A little Taste of" series for what I mean). If you make your own pasta don't be daunted by the baffling array of shapes he uses, I find that most recipes work equally whatever I add them to (although this isn't a popularist view back in Italy). Given the game season is almost upon us, try the rabbit/pheasant/mushroom recipe - divine.

I have found this book to be a constant source of inspiration for my attempts liven up the boring bolognese and have used the spicy prawns with pasta on numerous occasions to great effect.
Many of the recipes do, however, require a little more than rudimentary cooking skill, a well stocked cupboard and often a little detective work to track down an obscure ingredient or a suitable alternative. The results of perseverance are worthwhile though.

Antonio Carluccio is has written so many cook books. The addition of the music with this one is just adding to the enjoyment of being able to listen to the romance of Italy whilst creating the most delicious meals. The only thing that makes this book a little disapointing is the recipies are in most Italian cook books. This book is great if you don't already have too many Italian cook books and you want to feel the pasion of Italy.

This is one of my absolute favourite cook books. I have never cooked a bad recipe from it. It is very well written and easy to cook from. Personal favourites include, tagliatelle with chicken livers and pasta with ham and peas. I was so inspired I even made my own tortellini. A must have pasta book for anyone who loves Italian food.
