Book Reviews of Sweet Maria's Italian Cookie Tray: A Cookbook
Book Review: Excellent. These recipes are the real thing!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
These recipes are for cookies just like my Itlain grandmother use to make. They are authentic, accurate, and great.Book Review: A nice variety of great recipes
Summary: 4 Stars
I was very excited to get baking once I got this book. It includes a nice variety of cookies. I think it would a helpful aid if pictures were included. For example, the Almond Crescents recipe calls for the dough to be shaped like a horseshoe - not quite a crescent. I was just curious what's the author's cookie looked like.I do think the recipes are wonderful and can easily be adapted for your personal taste. I think this book will make a delightful addition to any baker's repertoire.
Book Review: Italian Bakery at Home
Summary: 4 Stars
Having grown up in Connecticut amid its wonderful Italian bakeries, I was thrilled to find this cookbook. The fact that the author owns an Italian bakery in Waterbury was enough of a recommendation for me. So far, I have made seven of the cookie recipes, and have enjoyed them all. The only problem I had was running out of pine nuts for the Pignoli cookies. I'll buy twice as many, next time!
One reviewer complained about the lack of photos in the book, so I am posting my own.
Book Review: excellent selection of recipes
Summary: 4 Stars
Well written, nice selection of traditional Italian cookies, just what I was looking for. So far, I've made the biscotti and the sesame cookies and both were delicious.
My only complaint is that the ingredients list is printed in a tiny font that is very hard to read and makes it easy to make a mistake on measuring - so read the measurements carefully. If not for that I'd have given it 5 stars.
Book Review: True Italian home baking
Summary: 4 Stars
These are the cookies -- biscotti -- that your nonna made. These are the recipes you wish you'd asked her for. These are the delicious treats that will carry on your Italian tradition for your family.
I am so grateful for this book, and I've given it to many family members. If you're Italian-American, this is an essential for your cookbook collection.
