The Best of Italian Cooking

For those who've enjoyed Mr. Root's other cookbooks, this one does not disappoint. In my edition at least 25% of the recipes have clear photographs of the finished dish. The list of ingredients are complete; the instructions are clear and concise for easy mastery by any cook with a moderate level of cooking skills. Those dishes with which I am familiar are absolutely authentic.As usual, Mr. Root's inclusion of background for foods, culinary traditions, and culture will have you torn between reading and cooking. Enjoy!
