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.

 Not happy with graphics, layout, typeface March 11, 2010
Elizabeth Brighton (Portland, OR United States)
I love Giada's show, and love cooking and eating Italian food, but was really really glad I checked this out at the library before buying. It's nearly impossible to read. Small fonts and white text on various pastel backgrounds combined with very shiny pages make it way too much trouble to try to cook from. According to the flyleaf, the design was by Jan Derevjanik. All I can say is that Jan probably has never cooked and likes going blind. My graphic design profs would have flunked him.
 Delicious and Simple February 25, 2010
April Thompson (Texas)
I have always been intimidated by alfredo sauce. I admit it. But when I flipped through this book and saw her simple and straightforward recipe, I decided to try it. This cookbook is well laid-out, the recipes are uncomplicated, and the instruction is clear. Ingredient lists are short, for the most part. I love this book. I really like the mindset that cooking doesn't have to be confusing or complicated in order to be delicious. Try this book. It will make you feel like a champ in the kitchen.
By the way, the alfredo turned out scrumptiously...
 Good Cookbook - but not everything I wanted February 10, 2010

I would have loved more pictures of the food and fewer of Giada, but the recipes are great and easy to follow.

it was a good purchase but not as good as I expected it to be. I tend to prefer cooking books with picture by recipe so I can imagine how it should looks like and also get ideas about presenting the plates and so. In this book I found that not all the recipes were pictured and I found that a lot of emphasis was given to the writer rather than the contents. I love Giada and I enjoy her shows but when its a cooking book I expect it to be 100% about cooking!!
 great cookbook! September 19, 2009
