 Not for beginners August 23, 2007

If you want to cook quick, easy Italian meals, this book is not what you are looking for. If you want to cook real tradition Italian meals and do not mind to spend 2-3 hours just to make pasta sauce, go for it.
 As close to my Italian Mother-in-Law's cooking as I can get! January 11, 2007

This is an easy to understand cookbook. Everything I have tried has been received with rave reviews and honestly the meatballs were as good as or better than my mother-in-law's! I purchased this book as a gift for my adult son and my niece so we can keep the good Italian cooking in the family.

A great cookbook which my wife uses on a frequent basis. Both my wife an I love italian food and have always enjoyed watching Lidia on PBS. We just had to have her cookbooks and were not disappointed.

This was a selection for a local bookclub that focuses on cooking books. At each meeting they try the recipes and discuss the author's approach to cooking. Bastianich uses traditional regional Italian dishes but adjusts them some for American tastes. The group agreed that this book had easy recipes with lots of "flavor and character."
Just reading the recipe titles made me hungry (Scampi alla Buonavia, Clams Casino, Caesar Salad using shaved parmiagiano, pine nut cookies, baked cannelloni with roasted pork and mortadella, and lasagna using a special Italian-American Meat Sauce).

I am an avid fan of Lidia M. Bastianich's PBS TV cooking show. Lidia's book has much more than the standard, simple pasta and spaghetti dishes. She is truly a cooking artist and this book reflects her love of all types of cooking, especially Italian. If I had only one Italian cookbook, it would be this one!
