Most of the restaurant recipe books do not work for the home cook. Though I have not tried all the offerings this book has, all that I have tried have come out wonderfully. It’s one of the best books of its kind.

I’m an “Italian girl”, born and bred in Brooklyn, I know my Italian food. I am a foodie and collect a roomful of cookbooks, and love this one along with the best of them. It’s hard to explain the appeal of this cookbook. Yes, many recipes “seem” to be a revival of many we know, as one other reviewer chafed, that it’s a repeat of the same old recipes with an ingredient changed here or there…well, I had to laugh…it’s precisely that “ingredient here or there” that can make or break a dish, change it from ordinary to extraordinary…and Carmine delivers! The Pasta with sausage and broccoli in olive oil and Garlic, sounds like a simple straightforward recipe that’s surely been done b/4, but not like this one! It comes out tasting like heaven and looks likewise and simple to make. I’ve made it 2x in a week and next week too, for a family get together. It’s just the best. I made shrimp fra diavolo tonight (to eat lighter fare, ha!). It was simpler still. Carmine’s toasted bread crumbs (with their blend of simple ingredients “here & there” again), is so good I could make a meal out of just that. I look forward to trying many other dishes. This cookbook junkie feels like I found a hidden jewel. Great for beginners as well as advanced cooks.

An excellent cookbook. The Chicken Scarpariello is to die for. Give this to your favorite home chef.

Having moved from New York City, I truly miss the wonderful restaurants. When I heard Carmine’s published a cookbook, I immediately went to Amazon.com to order. Have tried quite a few recipes and everyone of them brings back the old memories. Truly delicious and worth the purchase.
