5.0 out of 5 stars A "Joy of Cooking" of Italian Cuisine, 5 Oct 2003
By Imperial Topaz (Marrakesh, Morocco) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The very first recipe I tried out of this book was a great success. My ten-year-old daughter, her friend, and I followed one of the recipes for making homemade linguini (flat spaghetti), by rolling out the dough, cutting it into strips, and boiling it in water! Then we ate it with tomato sauce, and it was a GREAT SUCCESS!

This book is very comprehensive. It could be called the “Joy of Cooking,” of Italian Cuisine, having chapters on just about every possible type of Italian food. Directions are given for making EVERYTHING from SCRATCH, the traditional, Italian way. So buy this book if you are a GOURMET cook, who enjoys spending hours in the kitchen—it is NOT for the busy housewife who has to get a quick dinner on the table. Completely separate chapters include Fundamentals, Appetizers, Soups, Pasta, Risotto, Gnocchi, Crespelle, Polenta, Frittate, Fish and Shellfish, Chicken-Squab-Duck-Rabbit, Veal, Beef, Lamb, Pork, Variety Meats, Salads, Desserts, Focaccia-Pizza-Bread-Other Special Doughs, and At the Table.

So far, my family has enjoyed every recipe we have tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this for your friends, they will love you for it, 16 Sep 2003
By Mrs Lynne Roberts (Abingdon, Oxfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I am an avid collector of good cookery books, but if I were forced to keep only one then this would be the one.
Marcella Hazan talks to the reader throughout. Each recipe is amazingly simple and the lists of ingredients surprisingly short. She demonstrates over and over again that good cooking is all about simplicity, patience and, most of all, about using fresh, seasonal, ingredients.
