Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a GEM!
I received this cookbook yesterday and started flipping through it and then actually sat down and READ it -- cover to cover! Probably the best cookbook I've found. I love cooking, but as an amateur, I'm sometimes intimidated by the recipe titles, ingredients and directions for fix something. These delicious sounding recipes are concise, easy to follow and the GROCERY LIST! What can I say -- look at a glance and see what you do or don't have and make a quick list for several tasty treats at a ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Book is good, but the reviews ....
I have three of Rocco's cookbooks and all are very good. But the reviews of it here (so far, all 5 stars) are odd. Most of them sound the same, and have exactly the same "voice" while giving the message "I was a busy (blank)...I couldn't cook well...and then I found this book which solved my problems".

There were 6 of the 8 reviews that had only ONE review here at Amazon--the one for this book. Added to the fact, that all of those sound so much the same--well....just strange....



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More resources for me...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Confessions of a Cooking Illiterate
Ask me to translate Latin prose or recite Chaucer in the original Middle English, and I do just fine. Put me in a kitchen, faced with the prospect of preparing a meal, and I hyperventilate. After 30 years of enjoying a large variety of dishes cooked to perfection by my husband, I remain a cooking illiterate. A friend, aware of my disability, presented me with a copy of Rocco's book. What a revelation! The foreign language of cooking finally made sense. Rocco, a sophisticated and accomplished chef, has ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bravo Rocco! Ciao to your chow!
Rocco gave me 'real' help! This is Rocco's best cookbook. My girlfriends and I collect them all. Some really terrific short cuts and tips in here that will make anyone a better cook. Now if he would just make housecalls! Until then my friends and I will have to settle for his new A and E show! "Rocco Gets Real" on Saturday mornings is a DVR staple in my diet! Thanks Rocco!
