Serves 4-6? A pound of pasta, a pound of sausage and a pound of veg makes enough for an army! The cup of Marsala, sweet red peppers, softened onions, 2 T tomato paste and can of diced tomatoes make this dish sweeter than your average Italian...

I love Giada de Laurentiis. I am a fan. I love her show, I love the way she presents food. That said, I will probably not purchase this book. I bought her Everyday Italian at a book signing and liked it enough, even though there are more pics...

I bought this for my boyfriend since I couldn't find anything that included recipes and a sushi mold in any local store. I think this was a great value for the price. Everything was well made, well detailed, and nicely presented. The box opens like

The book seems a little complicated, it says it's for beginners but then contradicts itself by saying, "this is how the pros do it...." We haven't tried the set out yet but it's a good basic beginner's set. I think the book should be more geared...

I ordered this as a birthday gift for a carnivorous friend and have spent half a day curled up with it. Far more than a cookbook, The River Cottage Meat Book is an engagingly-written short course in animal husbandry and the butcher's art,...

This book is really a great seafood cookbook. I learned how to search out healthy seafood and then cook it in a simple but tasty way.

How can we say it, other than they did it again. This is the most comprehensive book on pasta that I have seen yet to date. The folks at Cooking Illustrated are known for their tedious testing of recipes, ingredients, and everything else...

i used to be one of those people that ate out for lunch every day. But I've come to the realization that the $100 to $125 a month i'm spending eating out fast food can be better spent on other things. Ramen Noodles have stepped up to become a...

I saw the author being interviewed on the Food Channel and thought the book might be a bit of a kick.
This is for a REALLY beginning cook. (Which is what it claims to be.)
Too basic for me.

The seller provided great service, but the book wasn't all that amazon advertized, great basic, but not amazing for those of us who have worked with the noodles before.

This book serves both as an encyclopedic reference work, and as an informative, engaging read. The author admits that not ALL fruits and veggies are included, however it seems that all of the important ones are, particularly those that we need...

It seems every nose-in-the-air chef thinks hes some sort of genius for "descovering" the concept of fresh and local produce . This is an entire book crying over how its "not like the old days".

An interesting read for cooks curuious about fresh fruit & vegtables. Book is a bit disorganized in it approach. Somewhat arranged by season, somewhat by vegetable type. Refreshingly, the recipes are quite simple. Is evident that the author has a...

Recipes from my very favorite restaurant on earth.Finally..FINALLY, Fergus Henderson's amazing book is reprinted in the US--allowing American chefs and foodies to lay their hands on what they've only been hearing about for years. Don't be put off...

This really caught my eye because I thought it might have some recipes that are practical (if yucky sounding) for those of us who slaughter livestock at home. But most of the recipes are disappointing, with things everyone has heard of or stuff...

I had to search a long time before I found an ice cream cookbook that included recipes that would fit a 1 quart ice cream maker. Most ice cream cookbooks only have 1.5 quart recipes and are hard to adjust, which I will still have to do on some,...

This is the worst book of ice cream maker recipes I have come across. it Includes recipes that are not complete such as the "Enlightened Vanilla Ice Cream" recipe that calls for only cream, sugar and vanilla extract. I believe they left out a...

Just got this book, and while it does seem to have an ample supply of different recepies (and all that contain raw eggs do have you cook them into a custard, unlike the Ben & Jerry's cookbook), none of them contain any nutritional information. I...

Like the author's Armenian and Caucasian cookbooks, "The Book of Yogurt" is a classic in its own right and a remarkable guide to great eating. Written by a true connoisseur, it offers hundreds of sensationally good recipes and is a godsend for...

It's not about yogurt specifically but more about all the things you can make with yogurt if you want to substitute yogurt for normal ingredients, or if you happen to have gallons of yogurt that you need to use before it spoils. I don't really...
