Summary: 4 Stars
This book is really gorgeous. I actually have it out on my coffee table. The book is broken into two parts. The first section deals with wine and, to be honest, I've done little more than look at the pictures in this section. The second part is the recipe section. Directions are clear, and many of the ingredients are explained in detail. Some of the ingredients may be hard to find but the photos and descriptions make you curious enough to seek them out. I made the meatballs and marinara and they were absolutely wonderful.Book Review: For me, not useful
Summary: 2 Stars
Usually, I have a lot to say in a cook book review. Not this time.
I've owned this book for well over a year. Of course, when I first received it, I read it cover-to-cover to mark recipes I wanted to try. I didn't mark any--very unusual for me. The recipes didn't appeal to me, or weren't inspiring, or were too limiting, or were too specific in their ingredients and the ingredients were too hard to come by--unless I ordered them online. Same with the extensive information on wines--very impressive, but, for me, bottles hard to come by.
So, to this day, I haven't used the book. Not good; and that sure doesn't make me happy.
A16 may be a very pretty book and the restaurant may serve wonderful food, but as a cook book, well, I feel I've wasted my money and my shelf space.
