...read Peter Robb's Midnight in Sicily which will surely sell it to you. He met the author at home and sampled her cooking. No review could improve on his.
A MUST-HAVE in Hard-Back! August 8, 2004

Some books one can accept, and tolerate, in the paperback format but if your budget can stretch to the hard-back editon of this superb book then we would thoroughly recommend it to the keen authentic Italian cook and/or Elizabeth David fanatic.
This is a HUGE book so it needs some serious space on that sturdy kitchen book-shelf but will be much admired as a result!
Typical Elizabeth David style, easy to read and sheer pleasure.
Fantastic colour photography throughout, totally researched.
On the expensive side but Elizabeth David cookery books are a true investment and rarely 'cheap', for obvious reasons.
When Amazon stock is available it is at a great price, but you might be lucky to find one hiding on a bookshelf near you, like I did - discounted due to a damaged dustjacket, this is one of my best investments to date!
Fabulous book which I've bought at least 5 times November 10, 2001

I first used this book in 1972 when I lived in Rome. My Italian wasn't good enough to follow a recipe book, and I came across this in the english language bookshop there.Not only are the recipes authentic, but the book is a sheer pleasure to read, a gastronomic tour of Italy. The food preparation guidelines are clear and easy to follow and the results are exquisite. I have purchased this book at least 5 times in paperback, because every time I buy it somebody asks me if they can borrow it. I have a well loved copy of the hardback book which is beautifully illustrated and would make an ideal Christmas present for a foodie. All of Elizabeth David's books are very readable and wonderfully researched. If I had to choose one cookbook from my collection it would be this one.
