buon appetito!

This is a wonderful book from many perspectives. 1st, there's the recipes. Easy, fun, and essential Italian fare. 2nd, there's history and stories. You might ask why have narratives and stories in a cookbook. Well, as any Italians reading this will attest, Italian culture is more than just eating. Eating is a celebration, tied closely with family, culture, and history. You cannot separate one from the other. The story on the history of bruchetta is as important as the recipe itself. This book combines both aspects as is wonderful way for 2nd and 3rd generation Italian-Americans to appreciate and understand their roots. Ciao!

A great cookbook with recipes that never let you down!

This is a terrific cookbook. Every recipe I have tried has been fantastic. Last night, I threw a dinner party and decided to add a soup to the menu. I was a little nervous because I hadn't tried it out before serving it to guests, but (just like every other recipe in this cookbook) it turned out to be fantastic. One thing to be aware of, however: While the recipes are fantastic, the directions are not always clear or complete. This cookbook is probably best suited to cooks that already have some experience in the kitchen.
