3 Stars So many photos….. and most of Giada….. where is the food?
When I buy a cookbook, I buy it for the recipes. I prefer cookbooks that picture what the dishes should look like. This cookbook has lots of photos, most of them of Giada. I watch and love the show, I know what Giada looks like, I don’t need to see her over and over again in more than half of photos in this book. Another large percent of photos are of common items like lemons or silverware. I know what those things look like, too. This caused me enough irritation that, had I seen the book in a bookstore and quickly thumbed through it, I would NOT have bought it. That is not to say that there aren’t good recipes in the book, because there are. I think the editor or whoever is out of touch with what people want out of a cookbook…. isn’t it all about the food???

4 Stars A very good cookbook.
This is a very good cookbook, but I think I like the first one better. “Eat This!” the original, was more practical and is one cookbook I have used more than any other I own. Dom does have quite a habit of hampering his cookbooks with more than a little name-dropping. (i.e. You hear of all the stars who have eaten his food, but you rarely find out what they liked about it.) But the two “Eat This!” books are well worth the money.

This book is a compilation of gluten free recipes Most of them are dishes
influenced by our Italian heritage. My inspiration to write this recipe book comes from my
son, Corey. He was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at 29 years old. We come from a large
Italian family on my mother’s side, and so many of our wonderful Italian meals
consisted of “gluten” products. My grandmother, my parents, aunts and uncles
handed some of these recipes down and some are reconstructed from recipes I have
used over the years.

I Loved I Lost I Made Spaghetti
I Loved I Lost I Made Spaghetti
From failure to fusilli, this deliciously hilarious read tells the story of Giulia Melucci’s fizzled romances and the mouth-watering recipes she used to seduce her men, smooth over the lumps, and console herself when the relationships flamed out.
From an affectionate alcoholic, to the classic New York City commitment-phobe, to a hipster aged past his sell date, and not one, but two novelists with Peter Pan complexes, Giulia has cooked for them all. She suffers each disappointment with resolute cheer (after a few tears) and a bowl of pastina (recipe included) and has lived to tell the tale so that other women may go out, hopefully with greater success, and if that’s not possible, at least have something good to eat.
Peppered throughout Giulia’s delightful and often poignant remembrances are fond recollections of her mother’s cooking, the recipes she learned from her, and many she invented on her own inspired by the men in her life. Readers will howl at Giulia’s boyfriend-littered past and swoon over her irresistable culinary creations.

5 Stars Get it just for the recipes!
The spaghetti and meatballs recipe was delicious and easy to make. Even my mother loved it and she’s an incredibly picky eater. (I doubled the amount of sauce though, because I like lots of sauce on my pasta.) Next up will be real estate chicken, followed by the brisket. I live in Brooklyn, and love Italian food, so this was a personal buy that turned out to be a good read as well a useful reference.
