Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Photographs and more than 70 Italian recipes, all by McNair, in a well-written and well-illustrated but idiosyncratic collection. The best news is that each recipe is accompanied by a color photo of the cooked dish. Sidebars on Italian wines, coffee, and after-meal drinks prove useful, whereas the actual recipes are standard fare to those intimate with Italian cuisine. Nonetheless, except for the small type size, it's a good introduction to classic Mediterranean gastronomy from all regions. Barbara Jacobs

Just Like the Real Thing!!!,
By FL "SurfGrrl" (East Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James McNair Cooks Italian (Paperback)
As an American living in Europe, I am normally wary with foreigners European cookbooks. This is the real thing! Not only are his receipes farely easy, they are incredibly authentic. I have tried five of the receipes with great success. I only wish he would include the time involved with preperation and cooking. I will continnue to use his Italian flatbread receipe for bread, pizza crust, you name it. He also earns my undying devotion for reproducing Gelato, the Italian version of ice cream, which is heaven on earth. I enthusiastically recommend this book.
