Italian Cooking Encyclopedia

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I picked this cookbook up and looked at it when someone brought it in at work, I was so impressed with the overall book that I ordered it for my Father-In-Law for Christmas. The beautifully laid out recipes and pictures make it easy to understand what your final dish should look like. The Italian terms may throw you a little but you usually can figure out what it means. Very nice sections on pasta, vegetables, rice & grains and apertifs are very educational. My father-in-law will be thrilled with this.

Summary: MOLTO BENE!
Review: This cookbook is a delight - beautiful pictures, clear directions, and marvelous results. All the recipes I have made from this book have been a success, especially the bolognese sauce. The "picture-book" section about pastas, cheeses, spirits, and such is a great visual guide to elements of Italian cooking. The only drawback is the author's tendency to use Italian terms without explaning what they are, but with a little brainpower, the term becomes clear. A great addition to a food library.
