Summary: Simple but Good
Comment: This book proves that you don't need a lot of bottles and jars of pre-prepared foods to get a good meal on the table. I have cooked from this cookbook all summer and have already incorporated a lot of the recipes in my kid's lunch-boxes for school. It's not to say you don't have to plan, but I can make a meal when I have the time, stow it in the frig, and serve it when I'm ready. I thought when I got this book I would quickly bore of cold and room temperature food, but everything is flavorful and fresh.

Summary: Indeed, Simple and Fresh!
Comment: As with the other books by Viana La Place, I like all of the recipes and find them all simple and quite good, but again, only thing lacking are photos, otherwise, this cookbook would probably get 5 stars.

Summary: One of My Favorite Cookbooks
Comment: Make the Yellow Bell Peppers in Vinegar, Sugar and Oregano. I have made this dish many times to take to parties, and there hasn't been a single occasion on which I haven't been asked for the recipe. People GORGE themselves on this stuff. They love it. Another consistent winner is the White Bean, Red Onion, Tomato and Oregano Salad; it makes a terrific side dish with a broiled flank steak - the entire dinner can be ready in 15 minutes. The Torta Rustica takes some effort, but it really is a showstopper. More importantly, the authors' concept of simple foods prepared with top-quality ingredients makes a wonderful philosophy. Their emphasis on olive oil yields a cookbook full of delicious recipes low in cholesterol, and tons of fresh vegetables. Healthy, sophisticated and delectable. These are ideal recipes to take with you to a picnic or party, since they can be served cold or at room temperature.

Summary: Delicious, imaginative, easy-to-prepare recipes
Comment: This is the first cookbook review I've submitted. After preparing yet another scrumptious dish from this amazing collection of recipes, I was moved to share my delight with other potential readers. Everyone who has tasted the recipes I've made has praised them highly. Their simplicity belies their good taste. The two desserts I've made were huge hits - poaced peaches with amareti cookies and prunes in port over ice cream - yum! The grilled green or golden zucchini is amazing! I'm lucky to have the ability to read a recipe and imagine it accurately in my mind. I am confident that every recipe I've savored with my eyes will live up to its promise on my taste buds. I've not been disappointed yet!

Summary: Great recipes for casual entertaining
Comment: Contains recipes for casual entertaining which can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature. Good ideas for combining ingredients and for menus.
