Summary: Disappointing
Comment: Based on the description, this looked like a perfect cookbook for me, since I am a vegetarian and I love Italian food. When I actually saw the book and started using it, I was very disappointed. The recipes generally require a lot of time, either in preparing the food or in the time that it takes to cook (e.g., two or more hours in the oven). These recipes would work for someone who is at home all day, but I'm not. Despite being time-consuming, in most cases the lists of ingredients are simple -- but as a result, the food I made from this cookbook was extremely bland. It's possible I just picked bad recipes, but reading over other ones gave me little confidence that other choices would have been better.

Summary: Top Notch Italiano!
Comment: My mom's side ofthe family is Italian (not vegetarian mind you) and last year I convinced them to come to our house for Christmas dinner....they were skeptical but we pulled it off and this cookbook was a great help! There are so many delicious recipes, all very gourmet in flavor and taste yet mostly not too tough to make. We had rvilois as the main dish (my grandmother's secret recipe) but then I pulled in the rest almost all from here. We had a great sauteed zucchini with lemon and mint, cannellini beans with tomatoes, sage and garlic. There are all sorts of other great recipes too - pasta dishes, beans, salads, soups, etc. Everything I've tried has been good and has been true to itlian flavors. I love to use Balsamic vinegar and there is a great (easy) recipe for penne with tomoatoes, rosemary and balsamic vinegar. I love thus book - really glad to have it on hand.

Summary: Simply Delicious
Comment: Every recipe from this book that I have made has turned out excellent! I also appreciate the layout: each section lists all the recipes at the beginning so it's easy to plan a menu (author also has included many of his own menu suggestions) and to find recipes using ingredients that one already has on hand. The contents/sections are broken up into several different catagories ranging from antipasto, to polenta, to vegetable main courses and even vegetable side dishes, again making it easy to find just the recipe that you are looking for. The recipes are very clear, simple and easy to follow. Not very many photos, if that's important.
