.Pasta: Every Way for Every Day

by: Eric Treuille, Anna Del Conte

June 02, 2008
I brought this book primarily because my son is a finicky eater and at this moment in time he is going through a phrase where he just wants to eat pasta. Therefore, my aim was to find a cook book that would provide me with tasty recipes that were quick and easy to make. For as a working parent my time is precious and the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was spent ages in the kitchen cooking dinner.

I can safely conclude that the pasta dishes that I have made from this cookbook so far have been quick and easy and my son has loved it up! So a big thumbs up for this one.

.Amaretto, Apple Cake and Artichokes: The Best of Anna Del Conte

by: Anna Del Conte

August 03, 2006
I only eat the results. However, my evidence to date indicates that - if your wife cooks, and you love food - this book is a worthwhile investment.

.The Edible Mushroom Book

by: Anna Del Conte, Thomas Laessoe

August 01, 2008
First of all a confession: I'm a bit of a mushroom book addict. I have a *lot* of books on mushrooming. Collecting them has been a hobby of mine for about fifteen years. Some books I get for recipes, some I get to have new identification photos, and others just for interest.

This book is aimed at the beginner, and it follows a now pretty standard format of: first some general information about mushrooms and other fungi; then a field guide; and then a section on recipes. These kinds of books are not intended to be exhaustive guides to all the heroes and villains of the fungi world; for this your best bet is Roger Phillips's seminal Mushrooms: Mushrooms

Instead, this book is intended to be a guide to the key edible species, with ... Read More:

.Painter, the Cook and the Art of Cucina

by: Anna Del Conte

October 15, 2007
I'm sorry to write this, but the recipes I've tried so far haven't worked. I love Anna del Conte's other books but it seems that the recipes in this one haven't been tested enough. Also there are not detailed enough so you have to be quite knowledgeable to succeed. The paintings are lovely though.

.Gastronomy of Italy

by: Anna Del Conte

October 22, 2004
I was advised to read this by a chef, best piece of advice I have had for ages.
If there was a book like this for each area of interest, you wouldn't need many books!

.The Classic Food of Northern Italy (Great Cooks)

by: Anna Del Conte

September 16, 2004
No doubt recipes are good. Just what it says is different than how dishes would be cooked in Italy. It is full of exotic recipes aimed to cheat the customer already kidnapped by supermarkets, glossy magazines, celeb chefs, entarteinment tv program pretending to be cooking program. At the same time many, perhaps most, of the basic italian recipes are simply absent.

Buy it if you know nothing about italian food, are happy to continue to know nothing, and want good recipes (not italian, but good).
If you look for italian food look elsewhere.
