Book Reviews of Everyday Italian: 125 Simple and Delicious Recipes
Book Review: Great recipies!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awsome cook book. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to cook and watch her show!Book Review: Flavorless Recipes
Summary: 1 Stars
I love to watch Giada's show and am a fan, but this cookbook is a big disappointment. The recipes are simple which is great, but they are unfortunately bland. Very bland. I'd have to say that her fettucini alfredo recipe is so flavorless you'd be better off just buying sauce from a jar.
I've given this cookbook several tries and have yet to prepare a meal from it that was better than 'meh.' There is nothing special here. If you purchase this book plan on having to tweak each recipe to add flavor. If you're okay with that, then you will enjoy the book because it is attractive. If you want a cookbook with flavorful as-written recipes then this won't be the book for you.
Book Review: Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Giada's recipes are great. What makes them great is that they are easy and yet very elegant. Also, the ingredients are easy to come by and not so expensive and rare that you end up shelving the book. I really enjoy putting together her recipes and so far - my boyfriend has been going back for seconds each time.
I'm new to cooking and I work full time so another thing I enjoy about her recipes is that most of them don't take forever to make. I save the long ones for the weekends.
In the front of her book is a warm introduction and a small list of ingredients that she always keeps on hand. I found that to be very useful. I went to the grocery store and bought the staple items and some of the things I saw while skimming through the recipes. What I love is that I can come home from work and if I haven't been shopping in a while, I can always whip something up with little more than the staple items and the dishes still look beautiful and taste great too!
Giada offers some background to each recipe and I think that's a nice touch. Overall her book is easy to follow, has fantastic recipes and has proven to be the only one I use. Now I just have to getthe other books and I'll be all set!
