Eataly: Contemporary Italian Cooking Hardcover – October 24, 2016

This is a great price for this book.. Very, very beautiful book. Bought it somewhat as decor to use with other Italian cookbooks on my kitchen island. Recipes sound amazing and I can't wait to try some. It's so special though that I really don't want to risk it getting dirty even though that's somewhat ridiculous. I can't help it, it's that pretty. I paid more than the current price listed here but I don't even care. I love it that much. :)

The recipes are easy to follow and delicious.

This is a Christmas gift and appears very interesting. I wanted to take time and mention how well packaged the book is, and how much I appreciate that. Expect to hear positive remarks from receiver about this book.

Recommended by an Italian friend for our first Italian cookbook. The recipes are so good! We have used it several times and are always impressed.

Outstanding cookbook. Recipes are laid out beautifully, and many come with pictures. The quality of the hard back was very nice!

Anything and everything you need to know about Italian food!

I have well over 150 cookbooks and Eataly is one that I'll be donating to a used book store. Most recipes are devoid of the use of fresh herbs or any spices. But the recipe for Osso Buco is ridiculous. As anyone who has ever prepared this classic dish understands, veal shanks are the protein that should be used. That said, you can substitute beef shanks but it is completely impossible to produce tender, succulent shanks by browning them for 3 minutes, then simmering in wine for a few more minutes and then braising in stock for another 5 minutes. They would be inedible. I would not recommend this book. Another example - the Vegetable Minestrone recipe calls for zero herbs, spices, pepper or ingredient to render flavor or umami. Lots of good Italian cookbooks out there - this is not one of them.

Not very inspiring but well laid out and loads of photos.This makes a good gift for newly engaged or married couples with basic cooking skills andVaried amounts of time. Nothing exceptionally difficult and quite a few dishes that may alreadyBe familiar. This is better than the previously published Silver Spoon because of a cleaner, moreContemporary look.
