I have tried out dozens of recipes from this charming book, none have failed. Although the recipes here are all meatless, the book rises above the genre of vegetarian cooking; my carnivor friends have not even noticed the absence of meat. There are, after all, only two kinds of cooking, bad cooking and good cooking, and this book is about good cooking.

This book covers many aspects of seafood cookery with many different species. However, many of the recipies I have tried in this book have seemed relatively simple but proved problematic & unsuccessful when actually trying them out. Much of the instructions of ingredient preparation seem to have been overlooked.

Bloody brilliant book. Excellent recipes, excellent photography - not just photos of the food but photos of the markets, the farmers, the cooks. It's almost a photojournalistic essay that follows food from the soil to the plate. Plenty of vegan recipes too. Most of the recipes are easy and don't take long to cook. It's split up into various sections - vegetables, beans, risotto, pasta, bread, cakes. And a couple of others that I can't remember. I've had this book from the library for over a year and I wish I could keep it.
If you are vegetarian and you like Italian food, then this might be the best book you'll buy. Except now it's unavailable so you'll have to borrow it from the library.

We have many cookbooks but this one is constantly in use. Received as a present about four years ago our copy is now looking a little worse for wear and that is the best indication of our pleasure in owning this book. It is a book you can enjoy at many levels. There is, for example, a wonderfully informative section at the beginning where the various food styles of Italian regions are outlined. The recipes, and this is most important in a cook book, have never failed us and we have tried many! They are generally unfussy and blend together ingredients in a fine way.
