The recipes are good and my friend seemed to like it but it lacked pictures.
I had expected yummy looking plates of cookies but it was all print.

Still, the recipes looked good and authentically Italian.

Love this little cookie book

Lots of authentic Italian cookie recipies. All are quite easy too make. There are many variations on some of the cookies

I wish this book had more pictures so I could see exactly how each cookie should be shaped, but this is a good introduction to the Italian cookie tray.

It's clear that Maria, Sweet as she is, can't be bothered to pick up a camera. There are NO pictures of her wares. The authority is there...just not the visuals. All recipes here seem "time honored." This is what saves the book from getting a lower rating.
