Rustic Italian Cooking

I originally chose this book for the pictures, but fell in love with the Italian cuisine. The photos provide an appetizer to the eye while taking you on a romantic journey through the Italian countryside. Each chapter introduces the reader to a new menu, a new chef and a new taste of Italy. The recipes are sure to give any home chef a taste for the gourmet with the delightful aromas, textures and tastes each has to offer. De Gustibus has done an excellent job of translating their cooking classes into a useful book for the home cook. The book is put together in such a manner that each step is clearly defined along with tips for timely preparation. I highly recommend the introduction as it provides some helpful tools that can be used every day in the home kitchen. Even novice and occasional cooks will find the recipes easy to follow and techniques accurately described. This is a favorite in my kitchen library and has been a great inspiration in awakening my taste for gourmet cousine.
