Easy, interesting meals from appetizers to desserts. Feb 12, 1999
Great, simple recipes that come out right the first time, many have become staples at our house.Good book to plan meals for entertaining friends as well . The grilled pizzas are great(once you get the technique learned)! Also, try Rosemary Chicken, "Georges Pasta"(great as written in the book or made with ground turkey and without butter as a low fat daily meal),Pasta with lentils and prosciutto,or Delmonico steaks with home made catsup. You won't be dissappointed!

If falling in love could be expressed in food,this is how. Oct 11, 1997
Cucina Simpatica is not just another book of Italian cooking...it is a new way of looking at foods and ingredients. There is a magic in the way the chefs put together ingredients simply, yet with an outcome that is complex and tantilizing. This book has changed the way I feel about cooking; from a pastime to a passion. It is amazing how simple ingredients can transcend to a indelible masterpiece without any special training or tools. I have over 500 cookbooks in my collection, and if I had to get rid of

Fantastic! The best cookbook I own and I own many!!! Jun 20, 1997
If you have sophisticated taste in food, love to cook, but don't have much time this is the book to add to your collection. Most recipes have only 5 or so ingredients and are simple to make, but they taste like you've been cooking for days! If you are in Providence, R.I. don't miss Al Forno, the restaurant that the authors own

Love this book! Dec 10, 2006
By R. L. Azar
"A reader"
After eating at Al Forno's several times in the late 90's I bought the book. I was brought up in the restaurant business and new my way around the kitchen though my style was pretty basic. These recipes brought me into a more creative phase. I have made almost all of them. They are easy to follow with great tips and advice on how to succeed. My kids who are grown now, grew up eating Pasta in the Pink and Penne with tomato cream and 5 cheeses. Another favorite is the Chicken stuffed with bruschetta - made on the grill is best. Oh..and the grilled pizza! Have fun!
