Hard to believe that you can create such mouth watering meals in one pan....and so quickly! The ease of cooking gives the working person the opportunity to prepare a meal that looks AND tastes like it just came home from their favorite upscale restaurant. The "icing on the cake"..... is that the recipes feature ingredients that are healthy.
I am a "dessert-aholic", and the fruit desserts are wonderful! (I don't even miss the icing!)
Chef Silvia's presentations are fun to read, easy to prepare, delicious to taste!!!!A stellar gift!!!!!

Impressively easy to follow the chef's direction and make delicious meals in less than thirty minutes. Different way of looking at Italian food that takes good classic recipes and makes them interesting, unique, and easy to prepare.

Bottom line is this a great cookbook providing even novice cook's with the ability to appear a pro in the kitchen!

Loved the easy layout. Was very humourous, especially compared to usually very stiff and dry recipe standards in most cookbooks. Chef Silvia has a very easy to follow style and her light hearted and informational asides give teriffic insight into her innate food knowledge.
Had family over for extended get together and college student niece made two dishes from Simply Saute'. We all loved them and the whole family wants the book! I'm telling you this is easy stuff and it really is Delicious!

being a busy bachelor and not much of a cook i found this book made me actually enjoy cooking. the recipes are great and easy to prepare. no more take out for me!!

If you are going to own one cookbook, Simply Saute is the book you need. The recipes are easy, fast and delicious. What more could you ask for? It is unlike any other cookbook and I highly recommend it. THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!

I've made a number of recipes out of the book and they are all great! The best part is you can make a large batch of the wine sauces and freeze them ahead of time. They make a great tasting base to many of the dishes and it saves time too. I made one of the meals for some guests and the husband loved it and actually asked for the recipe! I bought him the book for Christmas. I highly recommend it!!

I love Italian food and having gone to Biscotti numerous times and experience the wonderful home cooking that Chef Silvia
prepares, is a treat in it self. This book is simple and provides some great simple dishes and tips. It's a must buy for the holidays. The book is 1st class as well Chef Silvia herself!

Simply Sauté is full of flavorful recipes for when I'm cooking for my family or entertaining guests, which I do a lot!

Chef Silvia's tips for each recipe make preparing the meal a breeze, especially when I'm doing all the cooking in one pan! The Simply Saute recipes use very little oils or fats, an added bonus. I already have many favorites I make often from this cookbook.

My gift shopping is that much easier for friends this holiday season because everyone is getting this book! ChefSilvia has a website that's full of great information as well. Happy sautéing!

This book is not only horrible...

It is the most boring cooking book i've ever opened.

Also,

I visited the authors website and she talks much about the past and how her family cooked and yet little about what traditions she is doing now (with exception to some wreaths she created each holiday season--NOT FOOD)!

STAY AWAY!
