5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent for beginners, February 5, 2002
By A Customer
This book offers menus that have the true taste of Italy. The menus are fantastic supplying your family with several meals throughout the week; leaving you more time for other activities and less time in the kitchen. Using this cookbook and some of these delicious meals on the menu, twice a week is all that is needed to keep your family healthy, happy, and well fed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Italian cookbook for beginners and more, December 28, 2004
By Marc Quattromani (Beaverton, Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was my first cookbook 18 years ago. I still have it and use it regularly.

The recipes are easy to follow and not overly complex. The dishes range from basic to solid to spectacular. Lots to choose from. The lasagna recipe has become our traditional Christmas Eve dinner and gets used many other times in the year.

Excellent choice for part of a basic cookbook set.
