Huge book with a lot of receipes and history behind
This book is massive it is like a smaller version of ecyclopedia but I really like it. A lot of stories behind popular dishes or desserts. From basic receipes like ragu or white sauce to more complicated ones all segregated by region of Italy. I enjoy using the receipes and also reading the book itself. Lovy photos.

Great value
The best Italian cook book I have ever bought ...Fantastic illustrations & information about the many regions & their produce .... Each recipe has a wonderful coloured picture with step by step instructions , which is unusual !!My parents are Italian & even had old recipes my mum made me as a child ... It’s a real bible of Italian food .Totally recommend it ... it’s really worth the money 👍

Only a few recipes are worth trying. And binding split.
Very pretty book with some nice stories, but so many recipes are similar or look stodgy that I only found a handful of recipes that I wanted to cook. For such a weighty book it also needed better binding as it came away within a couple of months.

Wonderful narrative but some recipes are just wrong
This is a genuinely lovely book to read: the background to dishes is explained and it is written in an engaging style. But some of the recipes are just simply wrong. As others have suggested, the quantities and timings are frequently way out. Be prepared to wing it, to a degree, with a number of recipes when it is clear it isn’t going to work. We also noticed that with some recipes, the end result in the photos was clearly different from the recipe. The plus side of this is that you feel that *you* have created something unique.To reiterate though: it’s a lovely book and very readable! :)

Excellent recipe book & guide to the different areas of Italy. Beautiful illustrations and photos.
Recipes all turn out well. Beautifully illustrated Italian cook book that also gives a lot of information about the different regions in Italy. A very interesting read as well as an excellent recipe book. Bought a copy for my son and will be buying myself a copy too.
