Product Description
In her hit Food Network show Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis shows you how to cook delicious, beautiful food in a flash. And here, in her long-awaited first book, she does the same—helps you put a fabulous dinner on the table tonight, for friends or just for the kids, with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of flavor. She makes it all look easy, because it is.
Everyday Italian is true to its title: the fresh, simple recipes are incredibly quick and accessible, and also utterly mouth-watering—perfect for everyday cooking. And the book is focused on the real-life considerations of what you actually have in your refrigerator and pantry (no mail-order ingredients here) and what you’re in the mood for—whether a simply sauced pasta or a hearty family-friendly roast, these great recipes cover every contingency. So, for example, you’ll find dishes that you can make solely from pantry ingredients, or those that transform lowly leftovers into exquisite entrées (including brilliant ideas for leftover pasta), and those that satisfy your yearning to have something sweet baking in the oven. There are 7 ways to make red sauce more interesting, 6 different preparations of the classic cutlet, 5 perfect pestos, 4 creative uses for prosciutto, 3 variations on basic polenta, 2 great steaks, and 1 sublime chocolate tiramisù—plus 100 other recipes that turn everyday ingredients into speedy but special dinners.
What’s more, Everyday Italian is organized according to what type of food you want tonight—whether a soul-warming stew for Sunday supper, a quick sauté for a weeknight, or a baked pasta for potluck. These categories will help you figure out what to cook in an instant, with such choices as fresh-from-the-pantry appetizers, sauceless pastas, everyday roasts, and stuffed vegetables—whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll be able to find a simple, delicious recipe for it here. That’s the beauty of Italian home cooking, and that’s what Giada De Laurentiis offers here—the essential recipes to make a great Italian dinner. Tonight.

 Simply the Best! September 3, 2010
Book Glutton
People who know me, know I like to cook. They also know I like to eat. However, I do not know how many people have made the connection that I like to cook because I like to eat.
I am not a big fan of cookbooks. I can usually figure things out. Sometimes I find, I need a jumpstart. If this happens, when it comes to Italian, this is where I turn.
I have used this book for years now. Giada's recipes have a quality about them that I like more than other I have tried.
My two favorite of her recipes are Broccoli Rabe with Oricchiette and Spicy Sausage, and Chicken Cacciatore, which is the most unique tasting recipe of this I have found.
I also really like the pictures of the dishes throughout the book. Presentation means a lot, especially when you're entertaining!
Recipes are simple and quick, and good!
Great and easy August 20, 2010

I am an absolute fan of Giada at Food Network. I have learned a lot from her shows and the recipes on this book are truly simple to make, easy-to-find ingredients, and since I watch my weight, her recipes are very healthy and easy to adapt to a diet.
Nice cook book August 10, 2010

I paired this with a pasta bowl for a Christmas gift. The book looked nice though I didn't use it myself and the person I purchased it for had it on their wish list. However, they have given positive feedback on the book since they started using it. Variety of dishes offered.
 HARD TO READ July 29, 2010

I love Italian food and enjoy watching Giada so I bought this cookbook. I was disappointed. So many of the recipes were hard to read because there was so little contrast between the print and page color. I suppose it was intended to be young, fresh and pretty. But please! Light green print, white on a yellow page? I don't want to have to write out a recipe already in a book because I can't read the thing. I also found the recipes that I made somewhat bland and had to double the spices to get the flavor that I expected. Maybe everyday Italian food really are like that, but I was not impressed. The book ended up in a charity book sale.

This cookbook is very very good. I would recommend it to anyone that likes red sauce of any kind. Her instructions are easy to follow.
