4.0 out of 5 stars An adventurous approach to pasta, August 13, 2004

By 

Lynn Harnett (Marathon, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Hot Pasta (Hot Books) (Paperback)

Following 1995's "Hot Chicken," the authors breathe new life into pasta with boldly flavored (not, despite the title, necessarily fiery) fusion techniques and stunning photos (by Sandison).

Each recipe is organized from advance preparation through final cooking steps and suggested accompaniments. Because of this timed approach, it's best to read carefully all the way through.

Dishes include Pasta with Olives, Tomatoes and Artichokes; Southwest Pasta With Grilled Vegetables; California Lo Mein; Thai Primavera with Coconut chiles and Lime; Panfried Pasta with Clams; Southwest Lamb Lasagna; Mediterranean Pasta with Seared Tuna.

There are chapters on vegetarian pastas, Asian dishes, cream sauces, and seafood. And tips on pasta cooking, buying, and reheating. Spaghetti night may never be the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars TAKES PASTA DISHES TO A NEW LEVEL, May 18, 1999

This review is from: Hot Pasta (Hot Books) (Paperback)

If you are a pasta lover, this book is a must! As with other Hugh Carpenter books, it is the unique and unusual combination of flavors which set it apart. Also the food photos by Teri Sandison are beautiful and give new meaning to the idea of presentation. This is one of a series of "HOT" books and they are all great.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent quick meals, October 15, 1999

This review is from: Hot Pasta (Hot Books) (Paperback)

This book is great even if you don't love pasta. It really focuses on quick meals that are cheap and full of flavor. You may have to stock up on a few things at first, but after that this is one of the best books I've seen for those "I just got home from work, I'm starving, and I can't afford to go out" nights.
