Book Reviews of Mario Batali Simple Italian Food: Recipes from My Two Villages

Book Review: "Simple?" I think not.
Summary: 3 Stars

There is no doubt that Batali is an excellent cook. There is no doubt that these are excellent recipes. However, the title would lead one to believe this a compilation of rustic, simple country recipes. I think that is a tad misleading. Batali includes many difficult-to-find ingredients, such as crawfish, boar and pomegranate molasses (?) in some unusual combinations.

Lots of lovely color pictures, which are essential for any cookbook. Recipes ARE good. However, I would rename this book "Italian-Global-Fusion Haute Cuisine."
