If you like Italian and Vegetables, this is the one.,
By vsaunders@gn.apc.org (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cooking from an Italian Garden (Paperback)
I have tried out dozens of recipes from this charming book, none have failed. Although the recipes here are all meatless, the book rises above the genre of vegetarian cooking; my carnivor friends have not even noticed the absence of meat. There are, after all, only two kinds of cooking, bad cooking and good cooking, and this book is about good cooking.

Best Italian book of vegetable cooking I've used,
By b_elon@netvision.net.il (Israel/Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cooking from an Italian Garden (Paperback)
A book I constantly turn to for ideas after I've looked in the vegetable bin or my orto in Tuscany to see what is available for dinner. It almost never lets me down. Imaginative, reliable and practical.
