I made the best risotto of my life while reading this book. The pumpkin risotto. Do it.If you are just sitting down to read it, it gets repetitive, and one more round of editing wouldn't hurt. In a way, though, this makes it function better as a cookbook. You can flip to the middle of it, see something you like, and it wouldn't matter if you hadn't read the 200 pages before - you have before you all the information you need to make a wonderful meal.I was somewhat disappointed with the dessert section. I was forced to drown my sorrows in that glorious risotto. This is an amazing & authentic Italian cookbook. I was so excited when I heard it was being released - and - by Stanley Tucci!! He's a favorite actor of mine. The book is packed with wonderful main courses, side dishes, appetizers, and we can't forget, desserts. It's nice when you see a cookbook that has "new" recipes, not just recycled ones or the usual, run-of-the-mill Italian dishes. The photos are gorgeous and Stanley Tucci has a little section in the beginning about his love for food & a few photos from his childhood & family. All in all, it's one of the best Italian cookbooks I have - and I have many. Plus I have a little thing for Italians ...( :Enjoy! It's not to be missed ~~
