Customer Reviews

my favorite cookbook

I've given this cookbook to just about everyone I know. It's fantastic. It's organized by type of vegetable, and so far I've loved every recipe I've tried. The recipe on the cover -- tomatoes with goat cheese and basil -- has become a standard quick recipe for me and some of my friends during the summer, when the tomatoes are good. The mushrooms and fried sage pasta is also particularly good. I happened to run into Janet Fletcher at a pasta shop in Berkeley, and I'm afraid I acted like a groupie, gushing about how I'd given this cookbook to all my friends. But she was very nice about it. :)

Pick what you Want, then Pick a Recipe!

This is a great twist on the typical pasta cookbook. It is arranged by vegetable so you choose what you want and then look for a recipie and you will most likely find one you want. The Fettuccine with Artichokes, Prosciutto and Cream has become one of my favorite recapies to make cause it is so yummy and so easy! All recipes from this book have come out great so far. Great pictures too!

Best simple pasta recipes I've found

The recipes in this book are artful and rely on fresh ingredients without being overly complex. My guests consistently love the dishes and the author makes it easy to stock the basics for most of the recipes. Great for veggie lovers too -- mostly meatless dishes. Highly recommended.

The most used cookbook I own.

I have made at least half of the recipes from this book, and have yet to come upon one that did not receive rave reviews from my guests.

The most useful and tasty pasta cook book I own.

I own a number of pasta and italian cookbooks. I use this one most often. All the recipees are very tasty and easy to prepare. Real crowd pleaser! The variety of recipees is good without being overwelming. Vegetarians will like the options as well as meat eaters. The pictures are beautiful and helpful when you can't decide what to fix for dinner.
