[Bonnie Jean · Rating 2 out of 5]

As poor college students on a limited budget, my family is obviously not the intended audience of this book... lots of kinds of cheeses I expected- and am prepared to splurge for on occasion- but lots of the recipes called for ingredients which are really rather pricy or just plain hard to find when you live in a small town- ingredients like veal stock (what, isn't regular beef stock good enough?), nasturtiums, and goose liver, among other things. I have no doubt that if you actually made the recipes in the book they would be very nice gourmet meals, but I was so put off by all the substitutions I would need to make that I just had a hard time being particularly inspired by the recipes.

this is a large book with a lot of step by step illustrations on how to make homemade pastas and all the sauces to put on top. the detailed instructions make it handy for a beginner and the sauces are great inspiration for experienced cooks. i don't make a lot of homemade pasta but i constantly refer to this book for the recipes and sauces to use with store bought pasta.

This book does indeed cover just about all kinds of pasta, but it doesn't have a lot of recipes for actually making the various kinds of pasta it recommends. Most of the recipes are for fancy sauces.

In this collection of pasta dishes are over 1,000 illustrations highlighting the simply written directions. Many different ethnic cuisines are represented.
