The Ultimate Italian Cookbook

By Carla Capalbo

The Ultimate Italian cookbook is a nice survey of the various regional styles of italian cooking.

Carla Capalbo serves up a really useful book with this offering.

It has great recipes and full page photographs of the finished dishes,  including photos of the cooking steps which really take away a beginner's fear of failure.

I found this cookbook to be inspiring which is all you can ask of a cookbook.

This book is worth every penny paid for it.
