The Best Of Italian Cuisine!, 19 Mar 2002
By Deb Mele - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Saveur" Cooks Authentic Italian: Savouring the Recipes and Traditions of the World's Favorite Cuisine (Saveur Cooks) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful reference book for anyone interested in traditional Italian cuisine. Saveur magazine captures the best of Italian food, by taking you into real Italian kitchens, both personal and professional to sample over 120 recipes made in the true Italian manner.As well as stunning photographs of every dish, there are little sidebars of information on Italian history, regional differences, particulars about a recipes ingredients, and much more on almost every page. Even if you were someone who didn't like to cook, I think you'd find this book an interesting read. For anyone with a passion for good food however, particularly tradional Italian cuisine, this book will definitely be on your shelf of favorites.
I have tried many recipes from this book, and every one has gotten rave reviews from family and friends alike. I even made homemade trofie (Trofie al Pesto)for the first time after being inspired to attempt it when I came across the instructions in this book, and it was every bit as good as the dish I had sampled in Liguria many years ago.
Definitely a book I would encourage anyone with a love of Italian food to buy!

If you love Italian, buy this book, 1 Dec 2007
By David Marc Dimston - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saveur Cooks Authentic Italian: Savoring the Recipes and Traditions of the World's Favorite Cuisine (Hardcover)
I have lots of cookbooks, but this leaves them all on the shelves. This book sits on my counter, ready to be opened and used. I love the recipes, they are simple, capture the true essence of Italian cooking in all its diversity. If I were to have one single cookbook for Italian this would be the one.

Pucker up!, 24 Oct 2007
By Olga Loinfeisk "Olga" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Saveur" Cooks Authentic Italian: Savouring the Recipes and Traditions of the World's Favorite Cuisine (Saveur Cooks) (Paperback)
All of the Saveur cookbooks are beyond just good cookbooks. I have all of them and I would hate to part with any of them. They all have a vast collection of basic and/or not so basic recipes that you'd imagine any type of person cooking, from a peasant to a pro at an expensive restaurant. Each recipe has a picture, which I personally really like, and side notes explaining something more about the recipe.
Excellent cookbooks, whether you're considering the Italian, French or American one, all are highly recommended.
