Last Fall three women and I went to Italy; my first time but it will not be my last. I fell in love with Italy and her people. For Christmas my husband bought this book and her son's How to Cook Italian at my request. Neither book let me down. For me, together they are my bibles for true Italian cooking. Every recipe has been delicious! There is soooo much information; it's mind boggling but wonderful; there's so much to soak up. I recommend both books wholeheartedly; you will not be disappointed.
Consistently exquisite

In our family, when it's someone's birthday or special occasion, the one who is celebrating gets to request a home cooked meal of their choosing. For years, everyone chooses something wonderful from Marcella Hazan. When we use her recipes, we are esteemed as great cooks, thanks to Marcella. Try the skewered shrimp, the minestrone, the eggplant parmigianna. (I think there must be a typo in the recipe for the sauteed spinach...as is, it's inedible due to too much salt). I've given this book to four grateful friends already.
Bravissima!

I've been a fan of "The Classic Italian Cookbook" for 25 years, and my copy is falling apart. I bought two copies of "Essentials" (which expands upon and updates the original), one for my own use and one for friends who have admired "my" Italian cooking. I spent several happy hours annotating favorite recipes for my friends and in my own new copy. I recommend it highly.
