Looking for an Italian cooking bible? Look no further. This is one of my favorite types of cookbooks by far. It has over 1000 recipes. It has recipes that range in many different areas of Italian cooking. Photos are high quality and the publisher did an excellent job in producing this book.

Books like these have a depth in material. There are so many different recipes for so many different ingredients you will find plenty of recipes that you will be pleased to serve. One of the selling points of this book to me is how it is broken down by courses of food, and by type of ingredient. I have never seen any other Italian cookbook produce so many different recipes for so many different types of fish, vegetables, meats, and so much more.

This book definately reminds me of The Joy of Cooking Cookbook. Both books serve as a resource of great recipes, but both have lots of information to help grow your cooking skills and abilities. I don’t think you can ask for much more out of a cookbook, making delicious food, and enhancing your skills.

I highly recommend this book. If you are looking for a book to help broaden your Italian cooking, this is a great book to start with. I do not think you can beat this book for the depth in both southern, and northern Italian cooking. So many different Italian cookbooks miss one of the regions. Great photos, many tasty recipes, and packed with all sorts of knowledge to help grow your cooking skills, you can’t go wrong with this book.
