This book is wonderful! It explains almost everything you want to know about countless numbers of pastas, the different types of equipment you may need, and has great colourful photos as well. The gallery of pasta, as in every gallery section of the DK books, makes your mouth water. I also enjoy the fact the measurements are also listed in both the metric system and U.S. measurements. One thing I must admit is that many of these recipes are labour intensive, but absolutely well worth it. Every recipe I have tried has had rave reviews. I have really enjoyed this book and hope you will too!

This cookbook is incredible! It has very straightforward directions for mixing and rolling your own homemade pasta, as well as a number of dishes that use fresh and dried pasta, as well as gnocci. The recipes are somewhat laborious, but I have yet to make anything I didn't like from this book.

Overall, this is the best cookbook I own. Every dish I've tried, I've liked. The illustrations are numerous and beautiful, and the recipes are written well. Like the other reviewers said, some of the recipes are more labor intensive than others, but there are also simple, delicious recipes in here for when you are short on time and energy.
