The Perfect Italian Cookbook and Food Guide
January 11, 2012
My husband and I live in Italy and wanted to learn more about Italian food and techniques, but our Italian isn't quite good enough to jump straight into an all-Italian cookbook. The first 40 or so pages of this cookbook spell out the heritage of certain Italian dishes and explain culturally why some dishes come from certain places. From beautiful pictures to maps of the provinces and thick pages, I'm just thrilled with this cookbook! During our time here, I'm hoping to cook my way through the entire book. For now, I've loved the eggplant involtini and the linguine with clams was such a crowd pleaser for dinner! Great value for a really great guide to Italian food! Bravissimo!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality

My Favorite Italian Cookbook
February 27, 2010
This cookbook is fantastic! It gives easy step-by-step instructions on how to cook each recipe and it has the recipes organized into what region of Italy they come from. It has a glossery of terms in the back, and I even learned a lot about Italy an their foods. i definitely reccomend this to any Williams-Sonoma fan, and Italian food lover.

Excellent cookbook and more
January 15, 2009
This book is appealing, and its recipees the best of Italian cuisine I have seen, e.g. detailed "how to", accessible to everyone who loves to eat, and results at the level of the best Italian restaurants.
Every recipee I tried is a success, and I am anxious to try all the others as soon as possible.
As a matter of fact, we had guests for dinner, and they were so impressed with my meal that I am ordering the Italian Essentials for her.
P.S. Every WIlliams Sonoma product I have bought, I have always enjoyed. Congratulations!
