Review Summary: Wads-a-matter-you....Hey!
Review: This lovely book only dropped onto my doormat TODAY, and already I count it amongst my favourite cook books (and I do have a fair few....)
Slim enough in hardback form to lay open on your work top, thick enough to cover all the basics and even to include a few you might not have heard of. Just enough background to each sauce to give you something interesting to tell your dinner guests and make them think you very knowledgeable.
Vegetarians will find more than enough inspiration to keep them amused in their otherwise sad and empty lives, whilst the health conscious can find plenty to feel smug about.
Measures are given in Metric, Imperial and American, just don't mix and match within a recipe.
Yes, there are pictures. However, they are cutsey pastel drawings and not very relevant. Nice to look at though.
A simple recipe for hand made pasta would have been a boon, but a simple search online will help you out in that department, if needed.
On the whole, a very useful and well researched book. Add it to your collection with a used copy for under a pound plus postage.

Review Summary: WARNING!!!
Review: This book has great recipes that are easy to follow. However, one particular recipe for 'Spaghetti con Melazane e Noci' (Spaghetti with Creamed Aubergines and Walnuts) instructs you to put aubergines into a hot oven for 35 minutes. I did this and one exploded. I don't know if this is normal for aubergines as I've never oven-cooked them whole before, but be warned - it makes for some hard scrubbing and a terrible mess!

Review: This is the one recipe book that I use over and over again. The recipes are simple to follow and always delicious. Like the previous reviewer I have given this book as a gift several times. Definitely recommended.

Review Summary: In sickness and in health, this book continues to serve us.
Review: From bourgeoning shelves full of cook books and cuttings, this book is the one that has proved the most reliable for delivering authentic and varied Italian pasts dishes - especially good for weekdays. The recipes are presented by main ingredient - whatever is in season, or whatever your fancy, there is usually a good recipe. We have bought this book a dozen times for presents; we even take it on our holidays! The illustrations are an added bonus.
