Summary: 5 Stars
...........my in-laws bought me this cookbook for my birthday recently and I started using it immediately! Since then, both my mother and sister have purchased a copy and fallen in love as well. This cookbook is simply filled with great, no-fail recipes! The Penne a la Vodka has just the right amount of creaminess, everyone fought over the Pignoli Nut Cookies, the Rigatoni Woodsman Style was new to me and wonderful, the Chickpea and Tuna Salad was easy and tasty, my in-laws loved the Baked Sole Oreganata, my nephews loved the Spaghetti and Meatballs, and the Ziti with Roasted Eggplant and Ricotta Cheese is not to be forgotten! There are so many marvelous looking recipes in this cookbook that I have about half the pages marked! On the menu this weekend is Egg- Battered Scallopine with Lemon Sauce! This cookbook has innumerable recipes in each chapter: antipasti, soups, pasta & risotto, pizza, entrees (meats, vegetable and seafood), contorni and desserts & coffee. So far, each recipe has been straightforward and easy to follow. Recipes that require a bit more "technique" include photos of Lidia herself preparing the dish.Lidia also really personalizes this cookbook, sharing her history in the wonderful world of cooking, along with many photos of herself and her family. I truly believe that I will enjoy this cookbook immensely for the rest of my life!
Book Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Lidia's recipes. I recently made the Spinach Crepe Lasagna and it was fabulous. Although it took more time that I thought it would, it was worth it. Everyone raved over it. I have all of Lidia's cookbooks and they are the first ones I look through when planning a special meal. Lidia's recipes are very similar to the way my mother cooked and was also a fabulous cook who grew up in Italy. This book will make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves to cook.Book Review: My favorite new cookbook!

This is the best Italian cookbook I have.It is worth its weight in gold. I could never make good spagetti and meatballs. Now, thanks to Lidia's easy to follow directions, I am making wonderful Italian dishes. My husband says my meatballs are the best he has ever had. I can't wait to try all the other recipes. If you love Italian food but can't get the hang of it, this is the book for you. Thanks Lidia!
