Summary: Belllisimo!
Review: This book is simply gorgeous. It's recipes are simple but elegant. I recently purchased it and have made several recipes including the panzella (incredible), and only takes 25 min. to do and the prosuitto wrapped asparagus with mozzerella, (amazing) don't forget to sprinkle with paprikah. Most recipes use fresh ingredients, a mainstay of italian cooking, and they are easy yet impressive. This book is a must for all who enjoy cooking and for those who do not, it has wonderful descriptions of the regional origination of each recipe and beautiful accompanying pictures. You can travel to italy without even leaving your kitchen.

Review: This is one of those priceless, beautiful cookbooks that can easily do double duty as a coffee table book. Speaking as a grandson of Guido and Katherine Agostinelli, I think I can speak with a certain amount of authority with regard to this cookbook when I say "That's Italian." Readers can be inspired by the photographs to try to improve their own culinary abilities. Personally, I have been known to burn a bowl full of Raisin Bran, (don't ask, I can find a way, believe me,) but with this book I'm inspired to try all kinds of great recipes.It's divided into sections on antipasti, pizzas, breads, pastas, risotti, soups, fish, poultry, meat, frittatas, seasonal vegetables, salads, cakes, cookies, and fruit desserts. Every section is beautiful, inspiring, and ultimately delicious. Two thumbs up.
