Cook Italian with an American touch (0/1 people found this helpful)
Those of us who watch Food Network are familiar with some of the top names in cooking, and Giada De Laurentiis comes up in the Top 10 list. Her presentation skills, youth appearance wearing a low-cut top attracts many viewers and her cooking techniques are simple and choice of the recipes on her show is marginal. Yet for those of us who are interested in Italian cooking with an American touch, we have to look for her recopies. Until now we had to depend on recipes published on the Food Network. In this long-awaited first book, she does the same as she does on her show - helps you put Italian dinner on the table for friends or just for the kids with a minimum effort and a maximum of flavor. The book reveals sevaral ways to make red sauce, Pesto and Polenta. The price of the book is too steep, and I would recommend this if you are familiar with her show and know what to expect from the book.
Rubbishy (6/12 people found this helpful)
I was very disapointed with this cook book. The recipes are 'Americanised' versions of Italian food and often are underminned by the compromises the author makes in the name of making the outcome more attractive to dumbed down tastes.
I suggest the huge number of other Italian books out there for those interested, this one is a real bomb.

I am no kitchen wizard and I very rarely follow a recipe to the word unless I am entertaining, which is more of an annual event than a regular occurrance. However, I love eating basic food using fresh/natural ingredients and have an aversion to ready made meals. I have had this book for two days and I have taken ideas out of it to make two simple suppers which have been delicious. One of my better buys - highly recommended.
