Already owned Giada's most recent book and purchased the last 3 for my wife and myself for Christmas as we both love to cook her meals. They're generally straight forward simple recipes with fairly basic ingredients that we can generally always find, even up in Yellowknife, NT.

This is a good cookbook for someone looking for easy, delicious pasta recipes. I've made about 3 or 4 of them now, and they are all simple, straightforward, and the ingredients are accessible. This will be a go-to book for me when it comes to making pasta dishes for my family.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks for when I'm entertaining. The ingredients tend to be universally-appealing and have a very modern feel (this isn't your grandma's Italian cookbook). I like the variety of pastas and cooking techniques. It also gives good ideas for dishes that pair well with pasta, like salads, appetizers, etc.
However, if you're looking for traditional italian recipes or more advanced cooking techniques, this isn't the book for you.
