Book Reviews of Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites
Book Review: Cooking with vibrant foods that look visually appealing on the plate, as well as delicious
Summary: 5 Stars
Giada teaches all facets of Italian cooking from traditional to contemporary, and her GIADA'S KITCHEN provides the Food Network star her own cookbook, with a new perspective: cooking with vibrant foods that look visually appealing on the plate, as well as delicious. From snacks to party fare and food for kids, her dishes offer lighter versions of traditional dishes - all done up for maximum visual and health appeal. Highly recommended.

Book Review: Love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own all of Giada's cookbooks (preordered the latest one coming out March 30, 2010) and this is by far my favorite. I use the recipes in this book all the time. My favorite is the beef roast with tomatoes and parsley.... yum! The recipes are simple, but some are time consuming. However, all the recipes are definitely worth the time in my opinion. I also like the way this cookbook is arranged (broken down in chapters). It makes it really easy to find what you are looking for.Book Review: My go-to cookbook

This is a standby cookbook at my house. I am actually a vegetarian, and there are so many recipes that I love in this book. There is a whole section where the recipes don't use meat (or it can easily be substituted, such as chicken broth for veggie). There is also a section on meat for the meat eaters. Most of my signature recipes that my family knows I make, and love, come from this book. My favorites are the stuffed peppers, potato and garlic soup, and the stuffed mushrooms.Book Review: An unexpected twist

I own several other of Giada's books, and by far I believe this will be my favorite. With her other books I found myself making recipes only once a month or so because the majority seemed to heavy to eat in Florida weather. This new book contains a variety of fresh takes on classical Italian food. There are lots of fresh veggies, fresh herbs, chicken, and fruit used in her book. I think this might become my new favorite book to reference for new ideas in the next few months!Book Review: Giada is flawless!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the fresh take Giada has on old italian favorites and makes them come alive with her lighter healthier versions. The ingredients are simple and the dishes are beautiful to look at and easy to prepare. I only wish she would incorporate all of her cookbooks into one single spiral bound book like Betty Crocker or Better Homes and Gardens does then, as Giada says, "it would just make my life alot easier".
