Reader Reviews:
Especially great for summertime on your own terrace (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is far from being dissapointing or even depressing, it evokes a wonderful sense of Italy in summer and contains a lot of great recipes you can use for easy entertaining in summer (or any other season, if you don't insist on eating al fresco). I've tried several recipes and they all turned out great: "lemon meatballs", "pasta with sundried tomatoes and ricotta" (use cream cheese, if you can't get any) or "pasta with saffron" ... And there are many more delicious recipes in that book, I just haven't had the time to try them. The book is split up into five chapters: "Antipasti" (starters), "Primi Piatti" (first course, it tends to be something like pasta in Italy), "Insalata & Verdura" (salads and vegetables), "Alla Griglia" (barbecued) and "La Dolce Vita" (desserts), so you can combine your own menue. If you can't afford that Italian trip right now, bring Italy back to your own terrace!
Pretty good (1/3 people found this helpful)
A nice book with lots of good recipes. It is not a perfect 10, but it's still the best italian cookbook I have.
Very Disappointing (3/6 people found this helpful)
Not much to say really. Very disappointing for me, with disappointing collection of uninspiring recipes.
Even the scenery photos were depressing.
Italian food is my favourite restaurant food, so this is not an anti-Italian critique
