 Easy and Delicious December 2, 2008
Not being an experienced cook I am always worried about some cookbooks being a little over the top for me. Not this one. Giada makes the written recipies just as easy to understand as she does on her show. Intimidation factor is low and I enjoy the book.
 Extreme Narcissism, Plus Many Good Recipes October 27, 2008
There are SO MANY PHOTOS of the author in this supposed cookbook it's laughable. And a little scary. And they are all cleavage shots. There are often as many as THREE photos of Giada splashed across just 2 pages {so that you are forced to see three shots of her just to look at one recipe...}. And there are full-page photos of her as well ! I was so sick of looking at Giada's cleavage and her face I ended up tearing the recipes I wanted out of the book, and throwing the "photo album" part of it away. I think if you were to just clip all the photos out this book would weigh 60% less if you actually weighed it. Many of the recipes sounded just great and I can't wait to try them though. Too bad Giada's ego basically ruined an otherwise interesting cookbook. You'd have to see it to believe it.

This is an excellent book. The food is easy to produce and very tasty. The instructions are easy to follow.

My wife told me never buy her anymore cookbooks, but she liked this one because the recipes are realistic. They contain ingrediants you have in your kitchen and don't take all day.

I come from an Italian family, so sauce, lasagna, chicken cacciatore, were dishes we grew up with. But I longed for more, I wanted to know how to make marinara sauce, vodka sauce, risotto and many others. This fantastic book was just perfect for me. Many of the recipes are so easy and quick and delicious that for the first time I actually enjoyed cooking. I recently purchased three other cookbooks, but this one is by far my favirate.
