Customer Reviews

Great book, but it was missing the cd .

Live the book and side stories accompanying the recipes which are great, but it is missing the cd.

All easy, all delicious!

I've owned this book for about 4 years and I return to it time and again for sure-fire Italian recipes. The bruschetta is always a hit with the balsamic vinegar, and a must-try is the three pepper salad. I serve it religiously to my dinner guests and have always received compliments. I usually like pictures to accompany the recipes, but this book doesn't need it. The antecdotes are enjoyable and give a personal touch to the cooking. I haven't seen his show in ages, but I hope he's still inspiring people to cook. I haven't bought his next book, but I bet it has the same results.

I love watching and cooking with Nick!

Everything I have made in this cookbook has been a smashing success with my family. A great book for any library.

Have not found a bad recipe

Nick Stellino is part shtik, part Italian storyteller, and, for the most part, a chef par excellance. I am a big supporter of PBS and obtained this book in an on-line pledge. There has not been a recipe in it which I have tried in which I have been disappointed. The anecdotes are interesting as well, although sometimes I doubt their validity. Anyone with a love of good food will love this book. Surprisingly, a number or them are easy to prepare as well.

Easy to follow instructions.

I enjoy Nick's show on PBS. Being Itallian myself I can appreciate Nick's passion for preparing and enjoying food. I like to cook and try new things I especially enjoyed Nick's eggplant recipes and thought the instructions were easy to follow. With this book, anyone that can read can be a decent chef in his or her own home. Thank you Nick!

Nick Stellino not only Chef but great conveyor of Knowledge

I bought this book after seeing some of Mr Stellinos Vegitarian Dishes on the program and let me tell you the art in which his recipes turn out is not nearly captured on the show, However it is Recommended that if you get this book you watch the show to get a feeling for the wonderful presence he projects and I tell you this book will be a great source to the person who enjoys cooking and does not have day to prepare for the Evenning meal
