Rating:  Summary: What a great book for satisfying any dinner craving! Review: There are so many cook books that you buy and only find a few recipes that are exciting. This book offers a multitude of recipies that are exceptional and always turn out. Whatever you are in the mood for beef, poultry, or seafood, this book has it.
Rating:  Summary: An outstanding introduction and mainstay Review: This book made me a Risotto enthusiastic. The recipes cover a diverse set of varieties. The only disadvantage of reading the book and making the food is that restaurant Risotto will never be very satisfying thereafter.
Rating:  Summary: If You Love Risotto, Then This Book Is For You! Review: This cookbook is a complete reference for cooking risotto, the classic dish of northern Italy. With 120 authentic recipes, covering everything from risottos with cheese, vegetables, meat, seafood, and fruit, there is definitely a recipe for everyone. You might try a tasty Risotto con Porcini e Rucola (mushrooms and arugula) which is one of my favorite recipes from the book, or perhaps a nice Risotto Rosso alle Vongole (clams in red sauce). The recipes are easy to follow, contain ingredients that are readily obtained, and most offer variations as well. As the Italian Food Host @ BellaOnline, I am always looking for books that share recipes containing ingredients that everyone can find.Also included in this book,are also chapters that contain important information on risotto ingredients and traditional preparation methods. Although I found it disappointing that this book contained no photographs or illustrations, which would only have enhanced my opinion of this book, I feel that if you love risotto, you'll enjoy this book. When it comes to risotto, this book has everything you could ever need!
Rating:  Summary: This is the only book you will ever need on the subject Review: This is the only book you will ever need on the subject. The master recipes for meat, vegetable, fish and fruit risotto are easily adapatable to your own favorite ingredients. EVERYONE I have shown the book to has ordered a copy: you should too!
