 Rating: - The Art of Eating Well: An Italian CookbookVia Amazon - Excellent service, prompt delivery, excellent condition as described, packaged well. Would use again. Rating: - Excellent resource for an Italian cookbook libraryThis review is written from the perspective of a serious home cook that has been studying cooking for 25 years and concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years. This book is targeted to anyone that wants to learn the history of Italian cooking. This book is full of both information and recipes. This was one of my first Italian cookbooks, and is still one of my favorites. This book is an authentic Italian cookbook not the Italian-American type that we are accustomed to in the USA. If you want a good comprehensive book on authentic Italian food this is one of the books that I would recommend. However, if you are a beginner Italian cook, this is not the book for you. The directions are written for someone that is familiar with the Italian kitchen. The author assumes you have a basic knowledge of the Italian kitchen and typical recipes. One complaint, and it is minor, is the lack of glossy photographs that I have become so accustomed to in cookbooks. The recipes in this book more than make up for the lack of photographs. Overall this book is highly recommended for those that are serious about Italian cooking. Rating: - Fabulous and interesting!This is the quintessential Italian cookbook, still loved and used all over Italy. Artusi's wit and comments make this book an interesting read, and the recipes make it a valuable resource. Kyle Phillips' translated the book and offers helpful margin notes to explain things the modern reader may not understand or give clarification. Excellent! Rating: - The Book That United ItalyExcellent historical reference. Before Artusi, there was no national Italian cuisine. Shortly before Artusi, only 5% of Italians spoke Italian. As a cookbook, this is of marginal value as recipes are usually non-specific as to quantity. For those interested in the art of cooking, it is well worth the time.
