If you love to cook, you'll love this cookbook. The directions are a breeze to follow, with photographs of some of the techniques. The recipes are fab, and there is room to be creative. Being a fan of the PBS series, it's great to see a show, then be able to go to the book and re-create the recipe. Generally, after seeing a cooking show, making the shown meal isn't really in the cards. But, like Delia Smith's series and books, Lidia gives the same quality and access to her art. I highly recommend this book.

A new favorite cookbook April 8, 2007

I've enjoyed Lidia's Public TV cooking program for years, and now have recently read her cookbook. It's a real testament to Italian home cooking being the glue holding a family together. The editors kindly allow Lidia's voice to come through her writing so saliently that I could imagine her telling the stories and sharing the historical information abou the foods as she cooks them. A real winner for those seeking to change up their typical Italian dishes for tastier, more interesting choices.
wonderful seasonal Italian cooking April 7, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Cooking seasonally is all the rage now and makes perfect sense - the Italians have been doing it for ages and Lidia does just that with this book. She takes basic ingredients and really makes them sing with relatively simple (but well thought out) preparations. Of all the chapters, I think I love and use the vegetable chapter the most. There are lots of idea for quick ways to make the same old vegetables in creative and easy ways. My children love her Broccoli and Cauliflower Gratinatee which is very easy to do. I like alot of the desserts too - especially the fruit crostata and the peach lasagna (made with old bread instead of pasta - genius!)
