review 1: Simply irresistible! I checked this out from the library but it is one of the few that I plan to buy, just to have it always on hand and to own it. I haven't had a chance to try out any of the recipes yet, but they are very well written and look very do-able for any home cook. A few I've got marked to try first: Fresh Ginger Cake, Easy Marmalade Tart, and Chocolate-Port Truffles. The indexing and color photos are both superb, and I love the personable written introductions given for each and every recipe. This is a winner of a cookbook, (and I read a lot of them).
review 2: I discovered this book by accident while browsing one of my many bookmarked food blogs, as the author of the Tuscan food blog I was reading was friends with the author of this cookbook... more. The cover photo looked good as did his choice of Italian restaurants and gelateria highlighted in his blog, so I figured I would give the book a chance. The photos are so gorgeous, that even the desserts I wouldn't normally eat, look mouthwatering. As another reviewer said, some of the recipe combos I personally wouldn't eat, but some of them sound so intriguing I want to try them out. Most of the recipes are way over my head, but I would love to try a big chunk of them. For example: Nectarine-Raspberry Upside-Down Gingerbread, Apple-Frangipane Galette (a free form Apple pie with rich almond pastry cream), Pineapple/Rhubarb/Raspberry Cobbler, and Chocolate Port Truffles. I liked that he was not afraid to eat chocolate and was in fact in love with it. Great cookbook and hope I get to try some of its' recipes out for parties. less
