Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking: member book reviews (Single Review Display)

(5 reviews)

If you have to have only one Italian cookbook, this would be it. It's not a fancy book with lots of glossy photos, but it is full of good, solid recipes. I've been using it for years and am now using it even more recently since I joined the Cooking Italy group at Spinach Tiger where Angela is leading us in cooking with this book.
A few recipes have had problems, but these have been 1) sweets (so not so interesting to me) and 2) easily recognized so you can correct the problem.
Hazan does seem to have problems with the portions, so you should use you common sense and experience when looking at the recipes.
