More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Pasta: Every Way for Every Day shows what a versatile, as well as healthy, food pasta really is. Written by Eric Treuille, director of the Books for Cooks cooking school in Notting Hill, and Anna del Conte, author of 12 books on Italian cooking, it explains the various types of pasta, how to make them and how to cook them. The level of cooking is described for each recipe and there is plenty to choose from "quick cook", "no cook" and "slow cook" recipes.
Throughout, the authors give their own hints and tips, from the proper way to boil pasta (never fling it in a pan with some water and a pinch of salt) to freezing tomato puree (easy when you know how). There are suggestions for fast and simple sauces, pasta that children love and pasta to impress friends, as well as recipes to use when cooking for large numbers and dishes that can be cooked in advance.
The recipes are easy to follow with the methods of preparation in the same order as the list of ingredients. This is a book that is suitable for hopeless cooks as well as the clever ones. If you follow the recipes, it is unlikely you will go wrong. --Judith Spelman

This book has made a hero amongst friends and family.They think
the great pasta dishes I have made for them is down to me, but it
is this book that deserves all the praise!.
Take it from me ,as someone who used to burn toast, the easy to follow instructions and easy to get ingredients can make you also
a highly regarded cook amongst your peers.
The book also provides tips on how to make your own pasta and how
prepare the food.It is also beautifully illustrated with photographs that give an idea how the food should eventually

I bought this book from Waterstones originally, and then another copy for a Christmas present from Amazon. As with all cookery books, some of the recipies are better than others, and some won't be to your taste, but generally, this is a beautifully simple book, which concentrates on the basics - which is just what I was looking for. Far too many books and indeed restaurants have pasta sat in a huge puddle of gloop, not this book. Lightly coating is key and the simple flavours are great. A great way to rediscover pasta after years of abuse!!!

Bought this book after browsing through a lot of books in a real 'old fashioned' bookstore. It's a excellent choice. Every single recipe I've tried so far is superb. And the best thing is you don't need very special ingredients. The book uses 'normal' ingredients that are easy to get by, has a very handy index to search recipes with specific ingredients, cooking times and for different occasions. In short: this is one of the very best cookbooks I've ever bought. Brilliant!

useless book if you have other A. Del Conte's books or any Hazan's
this is a pretty book with good recipes. anna del conte is very good, as usual. but it is really "basic pasta", with no surprise if you know Italian Food. Read more

Simple recipes, incredible flavour
This is the best cookbook we've ever bought, bar none. All the recipes are simple, with great variations on each to add variety and at least double the number of recipes there... Read more
