When I used to watch television most Saturdays were filled with watching cooking shows on PBS. I'm sure they probably still come on. They're not as sexy as Food Network's lineup, of course, but their chefs and the food they cook and the recipes they share are just as delicious as anything seen on cable.

I only enjoy cooking a meal if it is easy enough that I can enjoy the process and the end results. Ciao Italia Five-Ingredient Favorites has recipes for hearty Italian cusine that are inexpensive and easy to prepare.

Each recipe section begins with a clever introduction and five tips for that food type. Fo...more
Being a lover of Italian food, I knew this would be a hit in my house and it didn't let me down. However I did have to adapt the recipe just a little, since I still live in the dark ages with no food processor. All that means is the leeks and potatoes were chunky not smooth. It still tasted delicious, and I will make it again and again. I HIGHLY recommend this cookbook to everyone!!!
