Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - all recipes need tweeking
Good service on the delivery of the book. The book itself has nice ideas for sauces and simple pasta dishes. The one problem I have with the book is the pasta recipes, they all come up short on the moisture content within the recipes, and I'm not talking about a tablespoon of water , its more like a half of a cup or in the spatzle recipe a cup. So in each instance I had to play around with the moisture amount to get the desired pasta consistancy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful Book
This is the kind of book that you could leave on your coffee table and it would be an appealing read to many people. The book is bigger then I expected. (Of course I didn't even look at the dimensions. It's just bigger then the past 5-6 cookbooks that I have ordered.) The pictures are just beautiful. I enjoyed the history section and the pages upon pages of different pasta types. I love that this book has recipes for pasta AND for dishes that use the pasta. I can't wait to try a number of the recipes out.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for beginners
Great book for all pasta lovers - especially ones who are still inexperienced. Interesting fact from pasta history are fantastic.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great book for both beginners and experts
This book has several basic recipes for a multitude of pasta recipes and types. For example, recipes for spaghetti, ravioli, gnocchi, etc. I used the recipe for ravioli and it turned out great. I loved the step-by-step pictures. It also contains a lot of pasta recipes, but many of them contain weird ingredients that not everyone may like, or aren't easily obtainable. Still, the basic recipes in this book make for a myriad of options if you just use your imagination, especially for the low price. However, I learned that making pasta from scratch isn't easy, and you need other pasta paraphernalia like pasta cutters or ravioli cutters, and a pasta roller (because rolling by hand takes a lot of work!), so be prepared!
