I have made serveral of the recipes in the book and each one tasted like I was back in Tuscany. Both cooks have been to Tuscany and found many great dishes and put them together in this cook book. If you want to cook like they do in Tuscany, then I would recommend this book to you.

Their TV show is great too. Both of them love food, Tuscany, and are very funny too.

I love to eat, used to love eating at Carrabbas. They have become to concerned with profit and not with customer satisfaction. These cook books are a good way to have some awesome food at home without worrying about the cooks using some cheap nasty wine or lower grade of meat, buy what you want and cook it at home.

The amount of salt (1 1/2 tablespoons)in the recipe Tuscan Sausage page 112 must be a miss print. It was too salty to eat. An expensive and time consuming disapointment. Other than that it is a good cook book.

Haven't been this disappointed since Obama was elected, frankly. I had hoped for a book that would give us recipes like the incredible dishes we enjoy at their restaurant. NOT happening here, that's for sure. It's like these 2 guys are trying to impress some elite, nose-in-the-air food columnist. The average Joe and Jane American hasn't ever heard of 80% of these
dishes. If you're looking for a good Italian cookbook, PASS ON THIS DOG.
