Customer Reviews

Wonderful cookbook

I'm not much of a cook, but I was delighted to receive this book from my friends Paola Scaravelli and Jon Cohen some years ago, and have occasionally turned to the recipes here when all other ideas fail me. It's a fantastic collection of meatless meals and other delights, and will be sure to please vegetarians, health-conscious cooks and anyone who's simply curious. A great book, even for those of us not known for our kitchen expertise.

This is a great meatless italian cookbook

I love looking and cooking from this book. The soups are wonderful and have spent endless reading and cooking from this gem!

If you like Italian and Vegetables, this is the one.

I have tried out dozens of recipes from this charming book, none have failed. Although the recipes here are all meatless, the book rises above the genre of vegetarian cooking; my carnivor friends have not even noticed the absence of meat. There are, after all, only two kinds of cooking, bad cooking and good cooking, and this book is about good cooking.

Best Italian book of vegetable cooking I've used

A book I constantly turn to for ideas after I've looked in the vegetable bin or my orto in Tuscany to see what is available for dinner. It almost never lets me down. Imaginative, reliable and practical.
