After my first recipe review wasn’t too successful I was a little skeptical going into this one. The first dish was Verdure al Forno & oh my cheesy goodness was it amazing! Next I made the grilled tuna steaks with Giada’s pesto recipe & wild mushroom risotto…HEAVENLY! The last recipe P actually tried because I was out of commission. (A weed wacker fell on my head in the garage…another story for another blog post) He made Giada’s “Tin Foil Salmon” & I’ll let him tell you what he thought…
I wish I would’ve had this cookbook when I was single, I would’ve gotten more a** then John Mayer”

As you’ve probably already guessed this cookbook is getting a two thumbs up A+ review. I can guarantee it’s going to be a staple in my kitchen for everything from quick family dinners to impressive company get-togethers! Oh man, now I’m hungry after writing this!

I have been cooking since I was about 12 or 13, and so I have accumulated a VERY large collection of cookbooks – I think it's what people always want to give me for occasions. 🙂 BUT, the ones that I really really want – like this Giada staple! – have eluded me for the past couple of years. Thanks for the review on it – I'll have to be sure to snag it soon!
more a** than John Mayer..ha ha! Love it! I just wanted to say hello…I have followed you for a long time but never say hi! Your posts always start my day off right! Thanks! oh and the pic in the upper left corner with tiny Sam…gorgeous! It's what made me come back again 🙂
Thanks for the review, this is definitely one I want to purchase. And P's review was the best! LOL! I'll have to put this on my christmas list. 🙂
You know…I have had this cookbook for over a year or so and have never tried any of the recipes even though I am a pasta/italian food addict. After reading your reviews, it gave me the kick in the but I needed to actually crack this book open and try it out. I think I am going to start with the Verdure al Forno!
Thanks for the review. Our local library actually has a copy, so I'm going to check it out and try out some recipes. If I decide to buy, I'll come back here for your link:)
His review cracked me up! I'm a huge fan of Giada's show. I need to order myself a copy of the book.
Your posts always start my day off right!

I made this quite awhile ago for my husband. (We're talking years ago!) The feedback-he LOVED it! Good for your hubby to try this recipe. It is super easy.
