good but....

it was a good purchase but not as good as I expected it to be. I tend to prefer cooking books with picture by recipe so I can imagine how it should looks like and also get ideas about presenting the plates and so. In this book I found that not all the recipes were pictured and I found that a lot...

Great for beginners

I gained a lot of confidence in the kitchen with these recipes. They are simple enough for a beginner to master after a few tries, and don't have oodles of hard-to-find ingredients.

Basic and Highly Usable

Read the title: "Everyday Italian". Take it seriously - the book delivers what it promises. This is a huge selection of simple, reasonably quick Italian recipes. It does not send the reader off shopping for hard-to-find ingredients or require full days in the kitchen. It does not give a...

Great recipes

This and most of Giada's cookbooks are great with one exception. This girl is really stuck on herself. There are so many pictures of herself in the two cookbooks that I have, I don't really want another one of her blowing her own horn. Sure she is beautiful and one small picture in the front or...

A Must-have for the Italian lovers

This book has a lot of great pictures of Giada, especially towards the back. I keep them all bookmarked. Oh and there are some good, simple but tasty recipes, too, I think. In fact there seems to be more of those than pictures, I just noticed, though I can't imagine why.

Great Book By Giada's

Although most of the recipes are geared to busy families with little time to spend in the kitchen, there is a whole chapter of wonderful, healthy dishes from Giada, These recipes may take a little longer than the 30 minutes or so the other recipes require to prepare. Restaurants around the world....

Good, Quick, and Simple

Bought this for my wife, and she's already whipped up a few nice tasty meals from the recipes. So going by my stomach, this is a good book. But taking off 1 star because there are almost no pictures of the finished foods (just all text).
