 Rating:  - A lot of work for mediocre resultsI was pretty excited to get this book. It's beautiful and I love Italian cooking. Sadly, after making at least 15 different recipes and finding them all to be time-consuming, complicated, expensive disappointments, I have decided that this is one of the worst cookbooks I have ever owned. I traded it to a used book store for $5 in credit and was happy with the deal. Rating:  - Baking recipies fall flatI received this book from my brother and love the concept of it. However, my early experience with the recipies is terrible. All I've tried so far is the baking recipies, so perhaps other chapters are good.

Read More Rating:  - THE Italian KitchenPluses: Comprehensive and organized in an extremely user-friendly way (by food category and within that by specific ingredient). Pluses for some: Telegraphic- you get the gist quickly. Less suitable for people who like detailed step by step instructions. I would almost say it is as much a Italian food "concept" book as it is a "cookbook." Questionable: I'm not sure how long the binding will support its almost 1300 pages. Time will tell. Rating: - Great recipes!My sister-in-law is Italian and recommended this to us. It is supposedly the Italian version of the "Joy of Cooking". Browse for similar items by category:
