This is a cookbook you could use every day. I brought this home from the library thinking I'd just find a few recipes I liked. There were too many good recipes to write down and copy, so I loaned it to my daughter. She said the same thing. I bought a copy for her for Christmas and one for me. My family is Italian and there are recipes in there that I've been looking for. The soup section is excellent, main courses are easy to prepare, yet delicious, and the dessert section is yummy. This isn't a fussy Italian cookbook where you have to search for the unusual ingredients. All the recipes are practical, yet delicious. Even if you aren't Italian, you will love this cookbook. The Italian Wedding Soup is especially good. You won't be sorry if you buy this book. If you don't believe me, check it out of the library and you'll come to the same conclusion. You must own this book!Read full review
All recipes are easy to understand and substitute ingredients. The book is just as great as her first one. Some of the recipes have been featured on the Food Network and are available for free on their website. But it is nice to have them all together. This would make a wonderful gift for any cook, even beginners.
I liked the book very much-great Italian dishes, which my Husband loves! Just wanted to make one aware that if you want to follow the recpies directly-one has to buy all kinds of gourmet (expensive) type cheeses (some hard to find locally)! The ingedients are not something one has in the kitchen as a staple! But if you want to make a special meal for someone-this is great!
"Giada's Family Dinners" cookbook is a delight. Being of an Italian background, it was important to me to know these are recipes that are truly Italian and not just concocted in some test kitchen. Giada's cookbook has recipes that not only the experienced cook finds interesting and delicious, but that the inexperienced cook can follow, prepare, and end up with a successful finished dish. I have this book in my cookbook library and love it so much, that I also bought one for my step-daughter for Christmas. I'd highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who loves Italian food. Compared to other Italian cookbooks that I've seen over my many years of cooking, this book is top-notch
Giada makes Italian food so easy, simple and delicious (my husband can attest to that)! I love watching her shows and was inspired to get her cookbooks. Her ingredients are not too overwhelming, easy to find, and they are fast to make. I'm astounded that I can actually make a meal that actually looks like the picture, and tastes as good as it looks! The recipes I've made so far have been fabulous and it's so rewarding to see my family eat and enjoy the results!
