Mary Ann Esposito's cookbooks are EXCELLENT. Nella Cucina, Ciao Italia and her Celebrations books all contain very authentic recipes that are easy to follow and delicious. Depending on what part of the country you live in, a few ingredients might be hard to find but overall the recipes are well adapted for a typical American kitchen. If you grow your own vegetables in the summer, there are some wonderful ideas on how to use them.

I've started cooking using this book and the recipes are varied and delicious. I just cooked the "Shrimp with Spicy Tomato Sauce" for guests last night and everyone loved it. It was a really simple but wonderful recipe. Most recipes in the book are not difficult and the explanations and layout of the ingredients are very clear and easy to follow. Ms. Esposito's writing style is entertaining and approachable. If you like cooking Italian food, I'd get this book, "Mangia Pasta", "Ciao Italia" and "Ciao Italia -- Bringing Italy Home" by the same author as I have done. I have been reading them every day since I got them. Great fun!

A great cookbook. Directions are easy to understand and the recipes are wonderful. This is a cookbook I use often

MY WIFE LIKES HER TV APPEARANCES AND SO SHE LIKES HER BOOK. SHE WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO YOU. THE CIAO ITALIA WEBSITES HAS A LOT OF RECIPES YOU CAN TRY.

I have seen many Ciao Italia shows with Mary Ann and her love of food and easy steps can make anyone an Italian cook. All her books are well written and easy to follow, so enjoy!

Excellent service, prompt delivery, excellent conditon
as described, packaged well.
Would use again.

Nothing unique or new with the recipes, quite basic, but loved her
wee stories about her family and childhood.

Mary Ann makes it look simple just follow her lead and you'll be making Italian masterpieces too.
