This is a great cookbook. The reason, for me, is simple. It has more recipes for Scallopini than any other book I own, and I own a great many. and they are easy!!!Book Review: Worth the money and more
Summary: 5 Stars
For New Years we were dazzled by LB's recipe for Scampi. She is a great cook and excellent teacher. This book reflects both of these qualities. We note that the one sour customer review above was posted elswhere on a competing site. Lidia's recipes and approach to cooking are delicious.Book Review: How to feel Lidia's passion for food in your own kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've ever been to Felidia and seen and spoken even a brief hello to Lidia Bastianich you'll know you need to own ALL of her books. This wonderful third book of hers brings you back to your days (in my case Forest Hills, Queens) when stuffed mushrooms, baked clams, and lasagna were heaven on earth to you and wonderful weekly as well as weekend feasts. Just reading the recipes and you know they will turn out exactly the way the should. Follow them to Italian enchantment. Read all about Lidia and her life. It, like her recipes are down to earth and passionate. Beside food, Lidia extols all the wonders of family gathering, working together, making life delicious. You can just picture her on the wagon going to market when she was little. She was imbued with the wonders of food, its delights, and preparation from the time she was very young so it is no wonder all of her recipes are so enjoyable and accurate you don't know which to start with first. Start with the first one and just go on until you have made the last one. You will have not only read and followed an entire book, you will have made it a permanent part of your life. Thank you Lidia. I anxiously await the next one.Book Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 2 Stars
The recipes are bland and troublesome. The basics are terrible. The chicken stock was absolutely boring. I threw the book away when I realized the ragu and meat sauce recipes had no garlic or spices or any kind except bay leaves. I had high hopes and now wish I had saved the cost of the book and bought a decent meal instead.
