Customer Rating: Summary: Good book! Comment: The book arrived very quickly after I ordered it. It's used - very clean, no crumpled pages, no kitchen stains. I'm happy with the quick service, high quality, & less expense. I'm cooking my way through the recipes, happily. Customer Rating: Summary: So-So Comment: I bought this cookbook as I own several others (like 7) in the 365 Ways series and because I'm Sicilian & LOVE carbs. I wasn't too impressed, a lot of the recipes start off using the same ingredients then add an ingredient and call it a whole new recipe, etc., etc. If you like fish then maybe this one is for you, I don't eat fish at all & a lot of the recipes call for it in their ingredients. There isn't a section on casseroles either, I was expecting more of those or what to do with leftover cold pasta if you happened to cook too much one night, well, that happened to me and I got fed up looking through the book for a recipe & just created my own recipe from items that were in the fridge.
This one's a risk, you really need to look at it before you buy. Customer Rating: Summary: Favorite cookbook Comment: I love cookbooks and have several--this unassuming cookbook is my favorite because (1) I love pasta, (2) I've never made a bad recipe out of this book, and the recipes are easy to follow, and (3) most of the recipes use common ingredients that you already have on hand or are easy to find. My only slightly negative comment is that often the sauce ingredients are not enough, and then I have to double the sauce or cut back on the pasta. Sometimes I have to make small adjustments to the recipes--for instance, there is a zucchini/carrot/Parmesan cheese dish I often make that is crying out for salt and, for some reason, doesn't call for it. But any recipe adjustments I've had to make are very minor. Customer Rating: Summary: Good book for a variety of pasta sauces Comment: This book has been very helpful because my husband is a pastaholic so variety is particularly welcome. I use this as a basic and then embellish as I see fit. If you like pasta, this book is a must have. Customer Rating: Summary: Handy cookbook you will USE Comment: This is a handy, easy-to-use cookbook with delicious recipes that work. If you like to eat pasta frequently and want some variety in your dinners, get this book.
