Customer Reviews

Easy to follow and GREAT recipes!

This has some of the simplest and yet most authentic and accurate recipes I've ever seen. Photography is great, most receipes have step by step photos, and instructions are remarkably simple and clear cut. I am an experienced italian cook and it has become my go-to reference for nearly all pasta dishes. Try the bucatini with pancetta and sausage; even if you use bacon instead, it's a huge family hit! I am buying 3 or 4 books as gifts, and one for my college son in his new apartment with a kitchen! Buy it!

Beautiful pictures, step by step recipes and good food. The pasta bible is worth every penny. I will be using this book alot.

Great for Beginners

I received this as a gift when I first began to cook. It is wonderful!! Receipes vary from easy to moderately difficult. There are clear instuctions and every dish has a picture. There are many dishes that I use as my "stand-by" receipes for guests because they are simple, able to be prepared ahead and delicious. I highly recommend this to all cooks who love easy and delicious Italian meals.

Just a great pasta cookbook!

This is THE best of my collection of cookbooks! The day I recieved this book, I whipped up a receipe, and dinner was a delight!! Very informative, easy to follow, and delicious dishes. Shipped fast, and in mint condition.

True Italian!!!

I live in Italy, and the recipes in this book are true to the Italian cooking I've experienced. Most are easy and fast--meaning you can make the sauce as you boil the water and cook the pasta. Obviously, some recipes are more involved than that. Most of the ingredients required are fresh vegetables and cheeses--just as a true Italian would cook. I LOVE this book and always receive compliments on the meals I make from it!
