5.0 out of 5 stars The must-have volume on Italian Food, 26 Sep 2006
I have not been able to put this book down (and believe me, it's very heavy!) since I received it a couple of weeks ago. It is a wonderful mixture of recipes, detailed descriptions of distinctive ingredients like parmesan, olive oil and pasta and stories and reminiscences from Giorgio's life. While it is eminently practical, it also includes recipes for many signature dishes from Locanda Locatelli as well as shortcuts and adaptations for cooking at home.
Along with Marcella Hazan's 'Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking', you could not have a better guide to Italian food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flawless bible of Italian Food, 6 Nov 2006
This book will still be around when Jamie Oliver is just a dinner ladies' distant memory.

'Made In Italy' is densely packed with fascinating and insightful information regarding Italy and its food, for example there are 24 pages studying each aspect of just one dish - the classic risotto (then a further fifteen risotto recipes and even more variations).

But while this is a comprehensive book, it isn't complicated. Locatelli's charisma and style - so beloved of the celebrity set - oozes from the page, and the range of recipes is enough to turn you from non-chef, to sous-chef.

You get a sense that this a book which has been really honed (I read an interview with Locatelli that said he had been making it for five years), and is in marked contrast to the Gordon Ramsay/Jamie Oliver/Gary Rhodes method of releasing a book every six months as though it's a magazine. It's also really beautifully designed and photographed. It's a perfect gift for food lover - ideally you'd want one for the kitchen, and one for your coffee table.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate in italian cooking books, 25 Oct 2006
By J. Houghton (Falmouth, Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having first encountered Giorgio Locatelli on a BBC re-run of a short food series, he immediate stood out as an oustanding chef whose food not only looked great but was so simple to cook. When I saw this book I immediately had to buy it and I havent been dissapointed. Firstly its a big book. But beautifully made every thing about it from its appearance to its contents shows that a great deal of thought has gone into it, its almost perfection personified. Its a book to be displayed with pride not stuck on some shelf, its a major conversation piece in its own right all your friends will notice it instantly. The contents will not dissapoint. There are genuine italian recipes covering the whole spectrum from Carpaccio to gelato's every recipe is easy to follow. If you love italian food then once you start using this book you'll never stop. The book not only gives amazing recipes but also conveys Giorgio's journey through food, what to look for when selecting you food from the shop's. He also puts across a good case for going that extra mile to a local shop rather than buying straight from the supermmarket. All in all excellent.
