Ursula's Italian Cakes and Desserts,
By A Customer
This review is from: La Dolce Vita: Sweet Things from the Italian Home Kitchen (Mitchell Beazley Food) (Hardcover)
Beautiful book with wonderful recipes, BUT, about 95% of them have already been published in an earlier book with a different title "Ursula's Italian Cakes and Desserts". If you are an Ursula fan and have her earlier books, beware

no Italian recipe names,
By Joy Perino (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Dolce Vita: Sweet Things from the Italian Home Kitchen (Mitchell Beazley Food) (Hardcover)
On the whole this book is nicely laid out, an easy read and easy to follow recipes, but, and this is a big but, it has no Italian names for the recipes. All biscuits and cakes are "almond cake" and "lemon cake" etc. I wanted to replicate cake and biscuits bought and eaten in Italy, with appealing and memorable Italian names. Searching for the names, for ANY Italian name in the index, produced barely a handful of recipes, so it was hopeless trying to find much loved biscuits such as Ossa di Morto or Amaretti unless I was prepared to trawl through recipes and guess by ingredient if they might be the one.
For any reprint, it would a BRILLIANT idea to include, and indeed name the recipes, with their original names, and have the English translation underneath, much like in any other cook book that deals with non-English-speaking-world food. Imagine an Indian bread cookbook with no Roti, Chapatti, Naan, etc, but flat bread, slightly fatter flat bread with some seeds, flatter softer bread, etc.

Sweet Success,
By Sally Hughes (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Dolce Vita: Sweet Things from the Italian Home Kitchen (Mitchell Beazley Food) (Hardcover)
We have been long awaiting a book of sweet treats since Ursula's Cakes and Puddings sadly went out of print. This new book has exceded out expectations -not only is it choc full of wonderful puddings and cakes but also icecream (Italian ice creams need we say more-roll on summer and the opportunity to try). Our two favourites in the Books for Cooks cafe are the Farmhouse Apple Cake (has customers clamouring for more) and the Positano Chocolate and Almond cake (the addition of lemon zest to a choclate cake is original and inspired). Delicious !
