A bit too much detail,
This review is from: Italian Cooking for Dummies (Paperback)
Bought as a gift for someone who can't cook and it goes into too much detail probably better for a more experienced cook or someone who wants to know EVERYTHING about Italian cooking

Awesome reference!,
By M. Molen "Hoosier Girl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Italian Cooking for Dummies (Paperback)
This is a very informative and easy to follow reference for cooking Italian foods. I love the explanations for cheese types, wines, espresso, herbs and etc. This really helps me to understand what products to buy and how to buy them. The information on reading the labels olive oil was eye opening. I have tried a couple of the recipes and they are yummy and simple. I am hooked on the Asparagus with Parmesan and egg! It sounded rather weird but I tried it and absolutely love it, especially when I am in a hurry and hungry. I am so glad I have this cook book as a resource.
