4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone who prepares pasta!, September 6, 2000
By "fezzi" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Beard's Beard On Pasta (James Beard Library of Great American Cooking) (Hardcover)
This is a great little book from one of the greats. Any cook or chef would be very happy to have this. Many international recipes which he describes in an unpretentious way. Very easy and clear. No photos.....He doesn't need them - the titles alone are mouthwatering enough. I wish Amazon would put the contents of the books! Here is the Beard on Pasta....MAKING PASTA, PASTA IN BROTH, MAINLY VEGETABLE, FISH AND SEAFOOD, MEATS, EGGS AND CHEESE, STUFFED PASTAS, COLD PASTAS, SMALL SAUCINGS, DESSERTS, FOOD SUPPLIERS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and useful, December 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Beard on Pasta (Papermac) (Paperback)
This cookbook has stood the test of time. It goes to show that one does not need a glossy cookbook to produce top quality pasta. What you need is solid advice, and recipes that work. Buy this book and that is what you will get.

5.0 out of 5 stars In constant use in my kitchen, May 10, 2001
By Patrick Fitzgerald "plfm" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Beard's Beard On Pasta (James Beard Library of Great American Cooking) (Hardcover)
This is one of my cookbooks which never gets put away. I proposed over a serving of the Pesto, and now my kids demand the macaroni and cheese. Some of the dishes seem like crazy combinations, but have become pot luck favorites. The pastitisio and the basil lasagne were big hits. No clunkers here.
