Book Reviews of Everyday Pasta
Book Review: A book that makes you want to use your pasta machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this book and I really like it. It contains a lot of unusual recipes you'll find in no other cookery book and of course some old favourites, too (quite often with a new twist). There are recipes for many occasions, whether you want to entertain or are just looking for a quick mid-week meal, using both fresh and dry pasta. To turn pasta dishes into a complete meal, there are recipes for side dishes, too. All in all it's a very beautifully made, practical and down to earth book, divided into the following chapters: Pasta Go-Withs: "Antipasti and Appetizers", "Something on the Side", Pasta for All Seasons: "Soups and Pasta Salads", "Hearty Pastas", "On the Lighter Side", "Quick and Easy Weeknight Pastas", "Pasta for Special Occasions" and Pasta Basics: "Basic Recipes", followed by some menue suggestions. Giada never gives you the feeling you've got to be especially talented to cook any of her recipes (and a lot of them really are easy), so I'd recommend this book not only to experienced cooks but also to beginners. The only slight drawback is the fact that this is an american book, so you'll need a conversion table, unless you're used to american measures (but you can get cup measures in any good kitchen store). I simply copied the conversion table from another book into this one - so don't let it stop you from buying this book. By the way - I don't find Giada's recipes too americanized. There are some american touches, but that doesn't really hurt. Anyone who says any different is probably suffering from "It's not like mamma used to do it-syndrome", which seems to be a bit typical for Italians (you'll have realized it, if you watched Jamie's Great Italian Escape).
