Product Description
In her hit Food Network show Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis shows you how to cook delicious, beautiful food in a flash. And here, in her long-awaited first book, she does the same—helps you put a fabulous dinner on the table tonight, for friends or just for the kids, with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of flavor. She makes it all look easy, because it is.
Everyday Italian is true to its title: the fresh, simple recipes are incredibly quick and accessible, and also utterly mouth-watering—perfect for everyday cooking. And the book is focused on the real-life considerations of what you actually have in your refrigerator and pantry (no mail-order ingredients here) and what you’re in the mood for—whether a simply sauced pasta or a hearty family-friendly roast, these great recipes cover every contingency. So, for example, you’ll find dishes that you can make solely from pantry ingredients, or those that transform lowly leftovers into exquisite entrees (including brilliant ideas for leftover pasta), and those that satisfy your yearning to have something sweet baking in the oven. There are 7 ways to make red sauce more interesting, 6 different preparations of the classic cutlet, 5 perfect pestos, 4 creative uses for prosciutto, 3 variations on basic polenta, 2 great steaks, and 1 sublime chocolate tiramisu—plus 100 other recipes that turn everyday ingredients into speedy but special dinners.
What’s more, Everyday Italian is organized according to what type of food you want tonight—whether a soul-warming stew for Sunday supper, a quick saute for a weeknight, or a baked pasta for potluck. These categories will help you figure out what to cook in an instant, with such choices as fresh-from-the-pantry appetizers, sauceless pastas, everyday roasts, and stuffed vegetables—whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll be able to find a simple, delicious recipe for it here. That’s the beauty of Italian home cooking, and that’s what Giada De Laurentiis offers here—the essential recipes to make a great Italian dinner. Tonight.

Hi i bought Everyday Italian and never receive it it's been 2 weeks, Be smart and don't do it .
 My Favorite Cookbook July 11, 2008
I received this cookbook as a Christmas present this past year. My son is very picky when it comes to food - he has excellent taste and likes everything home-made. Which is a challenge for a working mom. We've made several recipes from this book and liked them all. A few have become favorites that we make quite often. Not only do they taste great, but Giada provides short-cuts so you're not cooking a 2 hour dinner like some other Italian cookbooks. I highly recommend this book.
EVERYDAY ITALIAN June 26, 2008

I got this book as a present for a birthday. Needless to say, I didn't care for this book at all. Sure it gives you A LOT of pasta dishes but in all honesty, if someone were to eat Pasta Dishes Every Day of their life then they would be Overweight beyond belief! I've tried at least ten of the recipes and while they may do something for other reviewers, they sure didn't for me. I don't even watch her on tv anyone. She just has this thing where she holds herself higher than everyone else. I honestly don't care about her background culture and how it influences all of her cooking. I don't buy a cook book for the culture, I buy a cookbook because I Know I will enjoy the recipes and make them over and over again, rather than one time.
