I got this book as a present for a birthday. Needless to say, I didn't care for this book at all. Sure it gives you A LOT of pasta dishes but in all honesty, if someone were to eat Pasta Dishes Every Day of their life then they would be Overweight beyond belief! I've tried at least ten of the recipes and while they may do something for other reviewers, they sure didn't for me. I don't even watch her on tv anyone. She just has this thing where she holds herself higher than everyone else. I honestly don't care about her background culture and how it influences all of her cooking. I don't buy a cook book for the culture, I buy a cookbook because I Know I will enjoy the recipes and make them over and over again, rather than one time.

My friends really enjoy this show, so I got the cookbook as a wedding gift for them. I glanced through it and it looks like it has some good recipes. Hopefully they will enjoy them.

I confess that my husband and I have something of a cookbook fetish. We have, however, invested in some books that didn't prove worthwhile and so before shelling out the money for Giada's books, I decided I would check them out from the library, make some recipes, and go from there. I wanted to know if the recipes were as good as she makes them look on the show and if, upon tasting it, my husband and I would have expressions on our faces that mirror the food ecstasy Giada seems to experience. The answer to that question: Oh, yes! Today I've ordered all three of her books because I simply can't imagine living without them and not being able to make her delicious, heavenly recipes whenever I want. Here are my thoughts on a few of the recipes:
Vodka Sauce - This was perhaps the only Giada recipe I made with which I wasn't entirely thrilled. It was a little too heavy on the vodka for my taste and I would likely use less the next time I make it. It does have a nice, creamy texture and the vodka does cut through the cream but I thought the flavor of the vodka overwhelmed the other flavors. The next time I make this, I will try it with half the amount of vodka specified in the recipe.
Salmon Baked in Foil - I really liked fish "in a bag" as it makes for very easy cooking and very moist fish with a nice helping of vegetables. I enjoyed this Italian take on the dish and the end result was very tender and tasty salmon with a lovely herbed tomato sauce. I'm not entirely a fish enthusiast so it's saying something when a fish dish gets high marks from me.
