5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and thorough., September 21, 1999

By A Customer

This is the collection I've been seeking out for a long time. No other book I've found offers such a plethora of exquisite, interesting recipes for those of us who enjoy cold pasta. If you're looking for "general" pasta dishes, don't get this one; it's very specific!

A beautiful book but not for amateur cooks. The recipes can be complex and are aimed, for the most part, at the epicurean.
