I've gotten into the (probably good) habit of checking cookbooks out from the library to preview them before buying and/or adding to the wish list. My cookbook collection already exceeds the space available to it, so I'm thinking this is a prudent habit - and one I should've picked up some time ago.
This book had to go back to the library before we had a chance to cook from it - which is really too bad, as the recipes seemed even more approachable than many in Molto Italiano, which we already own...more

This has a number of great traditional italian recipes along with new ideas to add interesting flavors/options to your menu. Recipes appears to be easy to follow and there's quite a bit of culinary background information on tools and ingredients as well.
A great book. Mind you simple cooking to Mario Batali and simple cooking to me aren't exactly the same thing. However everything I've made from this book has been wonderful. It's probably his least complicated book as I find his other cookbooks are good, and pretty thorough but generally not things that I would make myself.
Mario: Love his cooking, love his show, love his history of food, love his passion for food and it's history. If you are a fan, be sure to read HEAT by Bill Buford.
the mushroom risotto recipe is off da hook. making fresh pasta is sooooo yum and it came out great. my gnocchi could use some work. i need a ricer.
Few recipes my family would be willing to eat or I would be interested in cooking.
The original Batali and still one of the better books in his repertoire.
