"Bravissima Giada!!" Well done!!! This is the first book for Ms. De Laurentiis and she should be quite happy with the effort. The book is a compilation of recipes from her wonderful cooking show (on the Food Network) with several other new ones added; if you have the chance to see her show, you will get to see the enthusiasm she brings to the joy she has in cooking. Having attended The Cordon Bleu in Paris, she deserves the honor and respect of being a bonafide chef. I have tried several of her recipes,and I have not been disappointed; the dishes are fresh, delicious, light and leave you satisfied. But the book does lack enough photo's of the completed dishes, so my only suggestion for her next book would be perhaps more photo's of the food rather than so many of her, and her healthy torso, which would be good if this were a book on fashion or fitness, but not really necessary for a book on food.
