 A Cover-to-Cover Cookery Challenge January 3, 2006
38 out of 45 found this review helpful
Well may be not EVERY recipe in it, but it is certainly worth cooking your way through and is without much doubt my best christmas present this year. It covers everything, yes everything, and bar the odd (and hilarious) period item like pineapple mousse to have with ham and set russian salad which reveal it's half-century age, this is about as comprehensive a kitchen tool for Italian cookery that anyone could hope for. I've already done a kitsch chicken in salsa rossa and a braised beef in barolo. It pulls together all the sorts of things you find in writers like Marcella Hazan into a home-kitchen friendly compendium. It also reveals the food culture differences between UK and Italy - the rabbit chapter is one of the biggest meat sections - and pleasingly assumes that you will make everything from scratch. It's just a great book. Nothing more, nothing less

I love the recipes in this book. Delicious and super. I got it with Simple and Simply Delicious by Sylvie Rocher (French recipes). Both books are excellent and highly recommended.

I oriiginally bought a copy of this for my niece to share with her my love of Italian food and cooking. I have had to buy another for myself. It is a veritable encyclopedia covering equipment and basic recipes as well the more unusual and sophisticated. Yet everything is explained simply, so can be used by both a beginner and an expert. Like Delia Smith but Italian. This isn't a book that you will leave on the coffee table and make an occassional dish from. Beware this one will end up dog-eared and your children will want to take it with them when they leave home!
