Summary: Tried One Recipe and Could Not Stop...
Comment: I purchased this book about 2 years ago. The first recipe I made was "Pasta With Pancetta, Tomato and Onion". It was such a hit, I just continued on recipe after recipe. It is the most used cookbook in my home (I have at least 100 books). All the dishes are so flavorful and simple. She uses fresh ingredients that are easily attainable, the recipes are clear, concise and though I have been cooking for 30 years, I keep learning from her through her books. Lidia is my food mentor, she embraces food, is a wonderful teacher and the recipes in this book are excellent.

Summary: It could have been better
Comment: I am a big fan of Italian cuisine and everytime I have the opportunity, I cook for myself or my friends. I simply love the flavors of fresh basil, cheese, fresh pasta or tomatoes that give wonderful taste to whatever I cook.
For the most part of it, the book is well written. It contains a lot of details about the ingredients generally used (Lidia writes some nice "essays" about olives, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, mushrooms, truffles).
There are enough suggestions for antipasti, soups, fresh and hard pasta, meats, fish, risotto, gnocchi. The names of the recepies are also in Italian, and so you can impress your guests with your Italian knowledge. They are not complicated, easy to do, even for someone who is not very experienced in the kitchen.
But I have to say that I saw better books on the topic. This one does not contain a very wide range of ideas for cooking and compared to the book I bought from Rome last year, it is a bit costy. It would have been even better if each receipe was accompanied by suggestions of wines to serve with the dish. Information about how difficult and expensive it is to make that dish would have made the book more valuable.
However, it is an interesting introduction to Italian cooking and it does not miss the well-known and famous recepies.

Summary: Reminds me of my mother's homecooking
Comment: I am a big fan of Lidia and she has brought be back to recognizing my Italian hertiage (I am 50 percent). The recipes in this cookbook reminds me of my mother's Italian cooking. Plain and simple. I want to thank Lidia again for 're-awaking' me to my Italian hertiage.
