- just brilliant
After a glass of pinot grigio or chianti I enjoy cyber shopping and have an embarrassing collection of cookery books, mostly destined for the charity shops. Every now and again I stumble on a classic that I will cherish and recommend. Marcella Hazan is not a celeb. tv chef and her book of 722 pages is soft back, on standard paper and without pictures. Having enjoyed universal success with several of her classic recipes you will realise that the glossy promoted cookery books deliver for the coffee table, not the dining table. I've bought a second copy of this book for a friend. You won't be disappointed.

- comprehensive
This is the ultimate book for people wanting to discover genuine Italian cooking, and all the subtle but essential processes that this involves. The book has a good introductory section on cooking fundamentals, before chapters on each food type with scores of recipes. There are no pictures, but very passionate written text that leaves you almost tasting the food.

- Essentially Great
My edition is from the early 90's and is still one of my most visited reference books. Her Bolognese has no competition and is perfection itself...

- do you like Italian food?
If my house were on fire, this is one of a handful of books I would grab before leaving. Mrs Hazan's meticulous instructions mean that every recipe succeeds. And boy, are they delicious.

- Essentials of Italian Cooking
Marcella Hazan writes the DEFINITIVE Italian cookbook. The recipes are simple clear and delicious. I have every one of her cookbooks and this one is simply superb! She makes it seem easy and manages to create authentic and interesting Italian dishes. It works for the beginner and the advanced cook. My only complaint is that she has not written one in about five years - Please marcella ---- we need you too many new age cook books are out there about pretty photos and NO substance and BAD recipes.....
