The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces

By Diane Seed, Robert Budwig
Ten Speed Press - 2004

Two words: rustic beauty.

First of all, the hand-drawn illustrations make each page into a visual treat. It's full of original and simple Italian recipes, using very basic ingredients with an emphasis on freshness.

The book is broken down by main ingredient into multiple sections, and each one begins with a bit of trivia about that particular ingredient or memories of a recipe that the author had in a particular region of Italy.

I love this cookbook.
