I adore this book! Not only for its recipes, also for its delicious pictures. hmmm

After a month in Italy in 2007, Linny and I cooked almost nothing but Italian for a couple of months. This book has some superior versions of recipes we'd found elsewhere. The photos are excellent, too. We keep testing and annotating, so we expect this to be a keeper.

Basically falls into the "food porn" category of cookbooks. Lovely to look at, probably even authentic, but I'm unlikely to actually make most of the recipes.
