Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not so much recipes as compositions
When I think of dessert, I think of mixing, baking, etc, rather than simply combining items on a plate. I'm not limiting myself to cakes and pies at all. But the "recipes" here read more like salad recipes, combining items rather than creating them. The desserts in this book are simple, and rustic as stated in the title; mostly plates of combined foods drizzled with honey, etc. There are many pictures, and they are lovely to look at and read about, but very few of what I think of as "recipes." Yes, the final dish is something you have created, but I didn't find this book showing me anything new or interesting.
Rating:  - A sparkling gem
If you love cookbooks and especially love Italian food, this is a sparkling gem of a book. First of all, the book is lovely to look at and beautiful to hold. The paper just feels swell. But, more important, the recipes are miraculous. They are simple, often plain, different, and often so unusual you would never think up the combination on your own. There is a recipe for an open-face ice cream sandwich, which is a slice of crusty bread spread with lemon marmalade and vanilla ice cream. It is so delicious and voluptuous that you will want to eat it in secret. The book is wonderful to own and use and will make a great gift for your cooking friends because unless they have this exact book, they won't have anything like it.
