A Bible of Italian Cooking

Review by SRB, 2010-06-22

Absolutely the best Italian cookbook I've ever used. I have bought about a dozen copies as gifts. With this book you can learn to cook. Anyone who is Italian or grew up in heavily populated Italian American regions of the US will instantly recognize the authenticity of these down to earth recipes. I have been cooking weekly from this book for the last 4 years.

outstanding cookbook

Review by Richard Morrow, 2009-12-24

This is what must be one of the best cookbooks ever written.It is well organized, the recipes are easy to follow and each recipe has a short note saying where it's from- relative or restaurant. This the best cookbook I have ever used and that includes Julia Child. I cannot say enough good things about this book. I use it more than any other cookbook I have.

Unexpected Surprise

Review by Anthony Ingrisano, 2009-10-08

I was more than pleasantly surprised with the contents of Michele Scicolone's 1000 Italian Recipes. I have hundreds of cookbooks and was chastising myself for purchasing yet another, but I couldn't resist.

The recipes in this book are really authentic and every recipe I have tried so far has turned out well. I heartily recommend this book to all serious cooks. Yeah, I know, "another" cookbook! LOL You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Solid and creative

Review by H. Lindley, 2009-06-13

I have been cooking for over 45 years, have a collection of over 100 cookbooks in 3 languages, and find myself coming back to this one. Not flashy, no pictures, but solid and very dependable. This book has encouraged me to try wonderful combinations I never would have tried on my own. The key to making every recipe a hit is to try it her way exactly (at least once), use the best quality ingredients, share with friends if you can.
