5.0 out of 5 stars
A great cookbook and leisure reading book!, January 12, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Pasta Classica (Hardcover)
I have found Chronicle Books to be one of the best Cookbook
publishing companies around! Their books are very
aesthetically pleasing, as well as very well written.
Pasta Classica begins with an introduction to the history
of pasta, and eventually focuses on pasta in Italy. The
recipes are very simple, yet very good, and closer to
authentic than almost all of cookbooks on Italian cooking
by non-Italian authors. An added bonus is that the Italian
is all grammatically correct, and properly spelled!
This is a superb book to have around as a reference point for
coming up with your own pasta dishes, or for following
directly from the book. Either way, you can't lose! It is
also great leisure reading (the reason why I bought it!) and
very interesting and informative.
