5.0 out of 5 stars The Queen of Italian cooking, 26 Nov 2006

By	Camille (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews

I have a couple of Anna del Conte's books already, including "The Gastronomy of Italy" which is a truly fantastic book. I was slightly worried that this might be a rehash of her other work, but not at all! I haven't come across a duplicated recipe yet.

The book is divided into chapters focussed on key foods including: pasta; rice; bread; pulses; fish; molluscs; meat and poultry; prosciutto, salame and all that; vegetables; wild mushrooms and truffles; cheeses; fruit; nuts etc. which I've found very useful in practice, rather than the more usual antipasti, primi, secondi etc.

She writes very evocatively about food, always relating a certain preparation to a person or place, as is so often the case in Italy.

Her instructions are always clear and reliable - I've never made anything which turned out to be less than delicious, even first time out.

Anna del Conte is highly regarded in Italy as a writer on Italian food, and has won many awards there for her work (no Jamie Oliver interloper she!). This book is a really useful investment for anyone interested in Italian food, and how to cook simply and well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best if you can't get all of her earlier books., 29 Aug 2009

By	Sue Vickers-Thompson (Banbury UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful compilation of Anna Del Conte's "best" recipes (although all of them are best!) which is a must if you haven't managed to buy her earlier books, most of which are out of print. Fabulous recipes, most easy but not all and perfect to create a real Italian evening. If you haven't any other of hers and even if you have, do buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious cake, 26 Jan 2007

By	Bernie Gudgeon (Devon, England) - See all my reviews

I only eat the results. However, my evidence to date indicates that - if your wife cooks, and you love food - this book is a worthwhile investment.

This is for serious cooks only. As a beginner, seduced by the reputation of Anna, I find it hard work to imagine what the dish is and wish I'd realised there were no photographs... Read more
