My niece enjoys it.

My niece has an Italian obsession at the age of 9, and is now teaching herself Italian words from an online source. I thought she'd enjoy cooking authentic food with the Italian directions, and yes, it's a huge hit with her. Good book!

Homemade Italian is much easier than you think

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2016

Who doesn't love Italian? Especially when the recipes involved are a "best of" collection of classic dishes, from saltimbocca to tiramisu. Pesto or bruschetta? Hmmm.... Why not both? (Or put pesto on your bruschetta!) Linguaphiles will find the bilingual recipes especially fun to browse through--talk about a tasty way to learn the names of ingredients in Italian. Plus, sidebars scattered throughout the book provide quick cultural insights into the various regions of Italy the recipes hail from. Parents in particular will appreciate the "With the Kids" tips on how to get children involved in the kitchen, from making beef rolls to shaping potato croquettes. (The rest of us can enjoy the childhood memories those tips evoke from when we were kids in the kitchen.)

Another aspect of the book that I particularly appreciate is that compared to American desserts, Italian desserts use much less sugar. Rather than sweetness, they depend on fresh fruits and richly satisfying ingredients like mascarpone, eggs, and ricotta. (European dishes generally use much less sugar than their American counterparts.) I was also thrilled to see that the author emphasizes using extra-virgin olive oil throughout the book. Hooray! Contrary to popular belief, yes, you can cook and bake with good-quality extra-virgin olive oil. Time to bring Italy home and make your own antipasti and piatti. Buon appetito!

Delightful!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2016

We love Italian food around our house, and my kids are learning Italian, so what could be better than a cookbook in both English AND Italian?! Each recipe is on two facing pages--the left side is in English, and the right side is Italian. This is great for supplementing their Italian learning, and is just downright fun!

I love that there is a variety of recipes that range from very easy and simple to more complex and challenging. This allows your children to grow in the kitchen without overwhelming them at the start. They can start with an easy Vermicelli in Tomato Sauce or Peas with Italian Ham and as they learn and get better in the kitchen can graduate to more difficult dishes such as Beef Rolls (Involtini di Manzo) or Piedmontese Chocolate Pudding (which is more difficult to make than it sounds with multiple steps).

Kids today are losing that valuable art of cookery what with all the convenience foods and restaurants everywhere. Bring the family together, teach your kids some valuable skills and try something Italian for dinner tonight!

I received a copy of this book from Quarry Books for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Photos would be nice, but overall, a unique cookbook!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2016

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am providing my honest opinions.

Overall, I really do appreciate the contents of this book. It contains relatively simple, authentic Italian recipes that can be explained in 1 page or less, each (which is a challenge!). There are a few times when the lack of photographs is a bummer (how helpful an image of the process of making gnocchi would be, for example! The directions are too vague if this is your first attempt).

Also, there were some instances where ingredients were unfamiliar and substitutions aren't offer (Juniper berries? No idea where to get them or what to use instead).

But what makes this cookbook so very unique is the fact that facing pages are in English and Italian. This makes this quite a delightful read for anyone who is learning Italian (or, I suppose, an Italian speaker who is learning English!).

It's not the right book for a young child just starting to cook, in my opinion. Perfect for a tween or teen cooking enthusiast, though.

Only good if youbwant to cook veal and don't want to see photos of the finished dishes.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my daughter's 6th birthday as she wants to be an Italian chef. I was really disappointed when I flicked through it as there are no photos of the food in the recipes and the majority of the recipes are for veal dishes which we are very unlikely to ever make. I returned it and found a more suitable book.
