 Comforting to say the least Nov 13, 2010
By M. Schmidt
This book is a gem. It is authentic and simple. I dream about the photos as I drift of to sleep at night. Seriously. I'm particularly taken with Julia's "Spaghetti with Sauteed Radicchio" and her "Zia Rita's Stuffed Beef Braciole". My sister-in-law recently recreated her "Nonna Giulia's Polenta Layer Cake with Meat Sauce" and I think it soothed her soul for the entire month. This book is a treasure trove of passed down, seductive Italian cooking that will please both the gourmands and the kids in your life. Brava!

Excellent Nov 15, 2010
By Alice in Wonderland
Julia della Croce is an award winning chef who has a master's grasp of the fine art of Italian cooking. She has a number of excellent recipe books out there already, and this one is fine addition to the library. If you like fine Italian food, then this is a book you should check out. It has lots of good, easy to make recipes

Italian Home Cooking - Julia Della Croce (Kyle Books) Jan 25, 2011
By BlogOnBooks
"BlogOnBooks"
Julia Della Croce knows her Italian cooking. An award winning teacher, cook and media personality, Della Croce teaches Italian cooking to students and chefs in the U.S. and Europe. Now she has just published 125 of her favorite `comfort food' Italian recipes and if the meals are as good as the pictures, this is one delicious volume. From her fruity neapolitan tomato sauce ("Pomarola") to Zia Rita's Stuffed Beef Braciole, her emphasis on cucina casalinga is, as she says, "casual and relaxed and designed to sustain the body and uplift the spirit." One look at these delightful dishes and we'd have to agree.

Comfort Cookbook Feb 28, 2011
By Christopher Falman
This cookbook is a joy to look through. Tantalizing photos, beautifully designed. It's a great book to have. I've made the pizza/calzone dough recipe three times. It's the lightest, moistest, most delicious dough. While I give this book 5 stars, it's closer to 4.5. As beautiful as the book is and as delicious as everything is, some of the recipes seems to be missing some steps. For example, the pizza dough recipe tells you to combine water and yeast and set it aside. Then combine some other wet ingredients and set aside. And then the dry ingredients. Sunddenly, you are waiting for the dough to come together in the mixer. For the experienced cook or baker, it's easy enough to figure out what to do, but beginners or those who aren't sure of themselves in the kitchen might get confused. That aside, this is a great book the I highly recommend to everyone.
