 Rating: - Fantastico!Gino's book demonstrates how simple it is to produce excellent italian cooking very easily. All the ingredients are easy to get and use. It's good to see that he doesn't just focus on the traditional pasta dishes, but brings a wide variety of mediteranean flavour to your kitchen. I particularly love his endorsemment of tinned tuna & salmon - no filleting or gutting. Great and easy to use with flavoursome recipes. Fantastico!!! Rating:  - Good recipes but strange rulesI bought the book because it looked very interesting and I particularly like Italian cuisine. When it arrived, I found that it actually contained good recipes, but that D'Acampo claims you've got to follow some quite strange rules to produce good food. While I personally would go along with his rule number five ("Concentrate on the flavour of the dish not on what it looks like") every day, I can only shake my head when I read stuff like "Cook alone. Communal cooking spoils the flavour" (Where's the fun in that? And I produced some of the most brilliant results I ever had when I was not cooking alone!) or "Never cook onion and garlic together". Apparently onions and garlic have such great flavours that they will simply spoil the taste of one ...

I especially like the fish section, and the spaghetti rolled in aubergine recipe was fantastic. Gino's little introductions to each recipe are interesting to read, and charmingly written. I would highly recommend this cookbook. Rating: - Italian flairAs one of Gino's fellow countrymen I am always a bit cagey about books on Italian cuisine, but this is an excellent book with some imaginative recipes which should really give you a flavour of Italian cooking at its best. The ingredients are easy to source and quick to put together. His tips are extremely useful too. What a pity Gino doesn't have his own restaurant! Rating: - Fantastico!!Just bought this book for christmas and it is great.
