My husband loves the food Mario Batali cooks on the Iron Chef and I wanted to give him one of his cookbooks for Christmas. After looking at several of his books I chose this. These may be simple recipes if you live in Italy but unless you have an Italian grocer nearby you won't be able to find all the ingredients. Even though we have traveled to Italy several times these recipes were probably not what we would have wanted to order even there. We have probably been too Americanized of what we expect Italian food to consist of.
So many of the recipes call for ingredients that if you don’t live in a city there hard to find out in small town America

Simple, easy to understand, and commonly found ingredients. And the end product is uniquely Italian. Very well done recipes that offer exceptionally great flavor.
I love watching Mario cook. Now I'll have the chance to do some cooking of my own. The recipes are simple as the title states. You will not go wrong with this book. I'm an Italian- American and I'm quite fussy on what I consider to be authentic. These recipes are the real deal.
