I absolutely love Giada's food; the dishes are absolutely wonderful, with inventive combinations (who knew mustard, mascarpone and marsala would work together in a chicken pasta dish!) I love the concept of the book even more; to me, there is nothing better than serving good food to family and friends. Gathering at the table is truly a bonding experience that seems to be a disappearing trend in our society today. I would definitely buy this book and start traditions in your own family and groups of friends and enjoy life over good food, good wine, and good company; you will most assuredly get inspired by this book.
Oh, and by the way, if you are a stuffy, pompous arse, please understand this isn't about high-brow, stuffy uber-gourmet food that have to remain exactly true to their national roots. In fact, don't even bother commenting on the book - no one is ever going to invite you to a family dinner anyway! |

If you're looking for easy-to-make and relatively fast meals that taste great, you're in for a treat once again with Miss De Laurentiis' newest book. Of course, there are more refined, elaborate, and challeging Italian cookbooks out there, but if you don't want to spend all day in the kitchen yet turn out beautiful and delicious meals, try this. In my opinion, food for dinner with friends or family shouldn't be either demanding for the cook to create or intimidating for the guests to eat. Therefore, it's great for family meals as well as for entertaining. If you're looking to WOW your guests with all of the hours of work you put into a meal, try Charlie Trotter instead. If you're looking for time to spend enjoying your guests and diners who beg for your recipe, buy Giada's book.

I read through this book and was immediately impressed with the presentation of the book, it's first class all the way. The beautiful photos of the dishes are accompanied by easy-to-follow recipes and simple preparation and cooking instructions.
Just looking at the meals Giada selected for the book got me wanting to eat! I've owned many cook books in the past, but this one in particular is beautiful through and through. If you love Italian food I would say this cook book will greatly add to your enjoyment! |

This books has given me an insight into Italian cooking like I never had before. All other books seem to be all Pasta. This books goes beyond and makes everyday meals a twist.

What I appreciate about both of Giada's cookbooks is their simplicity and of course, the end result. Unlike some other cooks written by celebrity chefs where the ingredient list is a mile long - or the dishes never turn out tasting quite right because maybe ordinary folks lack their culinary talents! - Giada's recipes truly deliver... each and every time. I don't know how she does it, but she manages, both on her Food Network show and in her cookbooks, to make her dishes accessible, beautiful to look at, and delicious. I have many, many cookbooks, and hers are the cookbooks I reach for more often than any others. Thank you, Giada!

I have Giada's first cookbook, Everyday Italian, and it's fantastic so I couldn't wait for her second to come out. No disappointment here! Her recipes are easy and delicious and the book has lots of great photographs so you can see how the finished dish is supposed to look which I really like. You will love this cookbook as much as I do.

Giada De Laurentiis is a true Italian in every sense, except for weight, which I'm very jealous of. The meals presented in this book are not only delicious but meant for those whose metabolisms can take a beating. All joking aside this is a must-have cookbook for any kitchen, food lover and cook.
Beautifully presented, just like her show, the pictures alone make your mouth water. You won't be disappointed when you get this look into your kitchen as the recipes are easy to follow. Despite the easy recipes you will need to be organized and have your pantry stocked with items you may not normally use.
This is not a Betty Crocker cookbook where most of the items are already on your pantry shelves. Despite that I highly recommend this book so you can present gourmet meals that will make you look like an expert chef on the Food Channel.
My favorite recipes so far are Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Swiss Chard and Pecorino Cheese, Turkey with Herbes de Provence and Citrus, Grilled Artichokes with parsley and garlic and Italian Caesar Salad.
Buy this book and experience a revelation in your taste buds. - To a better day in every way. |

I love this book. I've tried several of the recipes already and although some require minor adjustments, they have all lived up to expectations.
