Product Description
In her hit Food Network show Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis shows you how to cook delicious, beautiful food in a flash. And here, in her long-awaited first book, she does the same—helps you put a fabulous dinner on the table tonight, for friends or just for the kids, with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of flavor. She makes it all look easy, because it is.
Everyday Italian is true to its title: the fresh, simple recipes are incredibly quick and accessible, and also utterly mouth-watering—perfect for everyday cooking. And the book is focused on the real-life considerations of what you actually have in your refrigerator and pantry (no mail-order ingredients here) and what you’re in the mood for—whether a simply sauced pasta or a hearty family-friendly roast, these great recipes cover every contingency. So, for example, you’ll find dishes that you can make solely from pantry ingredients, or those that transform lowly leftovers into exquisite entrees (including brilliant ideas for leftover pasta), and those that satisfy your yearning to have something sweet baking in the oven. There are 7 ways to make red sauce more interesting, 6 different preparations of the classic cutlet, 5 perfect pestos, 4 creative uses for prosciutto, 3 variations on basic polenta, 2 great steaks, and 1 sublime chocolate tiramisu—plus 100 other recipes that turn everyday ingredients into speedy but special dinners.
What’s more, Everyday Italian is organized according to what type of food you want tonight—whether a soul-warming stew for Sunday supper, a quick saute for a weeknight, or a baked pasta for potluck. These categories will help you figure out what to cook in an instant, with such choices as fresh-from-the-pantry appetizers, sauceless pastas, everyday roasts, and stuffed vegetables—whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll be able to find a simple, delicious recipe for it here. That’s the beauty of Italian home cooking, and that’s what Giada De Laurentiis offers here—the essential recipes to make a great Italian dinner. Tonight.

My friends really enjoy this show, so I got the cookbook as a wedding gift for them. I glanced through it and it looks like it has some good recipes. Hopefully they will enjoy them.

I confess that my husband and I have something of a cookbook fetish. We have, however, invested in some books that didn't prove worthwhile and so before shelling out the money for Giada's books, I decided I would check them out from the library, make some recipes, and go from there. I wanted to know if the recipes were as good as she makes them look on the show and if, upon tasting it, my husband and I would have expressions on our faces that mirror the food ecstasy Giada seems to experience. The answer to that question: Oh, yes! Today I've ordered all three of her books because I simply can't imagine living without them and not being able to make her delicious, heavenly recipes whenever I want. Here are my thoughts on a few of the recipes:
Vodka Sauce - This was perhaps the only Giada recipe I made with which I wasn't entirely thrilled. It was a little too heavy on the vodka for my taste and I would likely use less the next time I make it. It does have a nice, creamy texture and the vodka does cut through the cream but I thought the flavor of the vodka overwhelmed the other flavors. The next time I make this, I will try it with half the amount of vodka specified in the recipe.
Salmon Baked in Foil - I really liked fish "in a bag" as it makes for very easy cooking and very moist fish with a nice helping of vegetables. I enjoyed this Italian take on the dish and the end result was very tender and tasty salmon with a lovely herbed tomato sauce. I'm not entirely a fish enthusiast so it's saying something when a fish dish gets high marks from me.
Great book April 21, 2008

I enjoy her show and she has a good cookbook and she is quite a nice person as I met her once and so she really is the fun sweet gal we see on TV and she has great recipes and I have never disliked any I have tried.

I absolutely love this cookbook!!! I am just beginning to cook and these receipes are easy and delicious! I love the fact that you do not have to purchase too many ingredients to make these recipes. This helps with keeping your food shopping bills down. I have now purchased Giada's other cookbooks and use them all the time as well. I recommend this cook book to everyone!
