Very well organized book with some suggestions for menus, and detailed instructions for novel things like making noodles and putting together meat and cheese plates. Limiting the recipes to only including 4 infused products is a great way to start learning how to cook with the olive oils and vinegars without a huge investment.

This is the first time I've gotten into a cookbook and I'm in the process of cooking everything in it. The recipes are great but also not intimidating at all; most only require 7 or so ingredients and can be cooked in one evening. I'm also learning a lot about traditional Italian food. DL Acken is an amazing photographer as well. My one complaint is that there's a recipe for a pasta and Emily calls it "worm soup." I don't want to eat that.
