review 1: Another great book by Giada. I had the pleasure of seeing her recently at the South Beach Food and Wine festival and she was every bit as nice in person as she is on TV. She took a lot of time with the children in the audience and answering questions. Nutella rocks! .Anyway on to the book. Even though this a "foodie" book there are many recipes that my family enjoys in here. I love the "not just for kids" section at the end. Many recipes call for mascarpone cheese, main dishes as well as desserts. Favorite recipes in this book include chicken scaloppine with saffron cream sauce, chicken with balsamic barbecue sauce, prosciutto mozarella pinwheels. fusilli alla caprese, and sweet and sticky chicken drumsticks. Delicious!
review 2: I LOVE Italian food. Love it.
... more Really not a fan of Giada De Laurentiis as a television personality (get your boobs out of the food, woman!) but I do tend to enjoy the flavors she puts together.Didn't have very many "Aha!" moments with this cookbook because I've seen so many of the recipes on TV (on mute, as I find her commentary annoying) but there were a handful of new ones I'm definitely going to try, the cornmeal cake and lamb ragu with ricotta topping among them.Nice photos when provided, though not all recipes are pictured (as they should be, in my opinion). less
