The reason for all the excitement? Beyond Giada's camera presence, it's her food; quick, simple, and bursting with the ripe, rich flavors that reflect the best of Italian home cooking. Giada is a Cordon Bleu-trained chef who's worked in some of L.A.'s finest restaurants, but she's also not afraid to use shortcuts and the occasional packaged ingredient. She makes it all look easy because it is, with such features as seven ways to transform red sauce, five variations on cutlets, four great uses for prosciutto, and more than 100 other dishes for speedy but special dinners. Filled with gorgeous photographs, this is the debut cookbook from a major new star.

Unfortunately, they chose to print the receipies on colored background with a colored type. Very difficult to read. I would rate this book Best Overall if it the recipies were printed in black and white.

11 of 15 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »This book has helped this Irish woman cook like an Italian. I have made 5 or 6 of the dishes so far and they have all turned out very well. My only disappointment was the number of recipes, there could have been more.
10 of 16 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »The book is great I really like it but I was slightly disappointed in the choice of recipes since I am a big fan of her show. The recipes are easy and pretty much any level of experience could use this book.

7 of 11 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »I like her recipes but don't care for the format of the cookbook. It would have been much nicer to have far more pictures of the food and far, far fewer pictures of Giada.
7 of 11 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »This one is right down both my husbands and my alley. We LOVE her recipes. They are so much like having our grandparents here with us. Some of the recipes we have forgotten in our families till this book. Her Stuffed tomatoes are absolutley perfect for a summer day, with a peach bellini. They are very easy to make, some ingredients you may have a hard time finding if you do not have italian markets, or some kind of health food/whole food type markets.

I feel as though I too can make these recipes. I really like how Giada keeps it simple and how she gives you ideas on what to keep in your pantry for every day use. The book is colorful; it reminds me of words she would use like crisp, fresh, simple and delicious. I can't wait to dive in!
