Great service and fast delivery. Would use again.

The recipes seem to repeat themselves and don't have a great variety among them. When eating healthy, I try to find a variety of tastes in recipes and this book didn't seem to have them. Great on desert ideas though. And the recipes are simple...

If you own only one cookbook, make it the 75th Anniversary Edition of the Joy of Cooking.Informative, easy to understand, great hints, lovely paper quality and nice, easy-on-the-eyes typeface (smallish but needs to be to cram so much between its cove

I gave this to experienced cooks and novices who all found useful information. Highly recommended!

THE BOOK WAS NICE BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY STEPS TO DO WHICH I THINK TAKES MORE THAN 30 MINUTES.

This is a fabulous cook book. I usually don't care much for Italian food because of all the tomatoe sauce. Thanks to Giada, I have a whole new appreciation for Italian cooking. She makes it fun and easy to make her dishes. I can't wait for her ne

I love Giada and her show(s). However, for my own needs this didn't cut it. This book is good for people who perhaps aren't already comfortable with cooking basics, or... who do not already own any recipe books. I much prefer Mario Batali's Molto...

"Throughout the years that she has lived and worked in East Hampton, Ina Garten has catered and attended countless parties and dinners. She will be the first to tell you, though, that nothing beats a cozy dinner, surrounded by the people you love...

While I find--as most people do--Ina Garten's television personality to be very likable, her just released cookbook "Barefoot Contessa at Home" is both disappointing and not true to its title. Ina Garten is not an original nor a trained cook. She...

If you are impressed with glossy beautiful photos and a wonderful layout from a top cookbook diva, this may be for you. However, I prefer Ina's previous cookbooks over this one. I did not find most of the recipes (BLT sandwich with avocado;...

This was my first ice cream book when I first bought my machine. They have recipes for many of their most popular flavors, plus a few you don't see too often. They also talk about the basics of ice cream & its components, so you can come up with...

This is one of three ice cream books that I own, but I doubt I'll be making any of the recipes without one major modification -- I just have this aversion to eating raw eggs, you see. I didn't realize that B & J don't cook their ice cream base...

The recipes are just too brief and simple. Those unique Ben & Jerry's ice cream sold on the market can't be made by just these simple steps and ingredients isn't it?

I love to cook, and Italian is one of my favorites. I love the copy of this I just received. There are 2000 recipes in it and lots of great pictures! I have never seen such a complete and authentic Italian cookbook before.

This is a great snapshot of what Italian housewives were cooking in the 1950s. It's great as a period piece but it's a huge albatross of a book with thin pages and a gazillion recipes with no context or nuance. If you are already a good Italian...

I was a little disappointed in this book since the editorial reviews made it sound like the "one" book you should have for Italian cooking. I would change that to read "one book you should have if you are already a serious cook and want to expand...

I have all three of Giada's books, and I must say that she never fails to deliver. This particular book is oraganized so well, that all I have to do is go to a section for what I am looking for that evening. Not only does she provide great new...

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...

It is not that the cookbook is of poor quality; it is just that if you are a fan of the show, the majority of the recipies came directly from Everyday Italian. People can easily download most of the recipes off of the foodnetwork's website. I...

I'm the Baker. When my husband-to-be first came to my house to cook me a dinner, he rummaged through my cabinets and said "Where are your pots and pans?"; then he looked through the pantry and fridge and said "Where is your FOOD?" I had to explain...

The recipes in here could be cut into a 5th of the book. I've made a recipe from here for biscuits, and it was tasteless and gross. I followed the recipe exactly. If you want a book by the Editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine, I recommend...
