I'm nowhere near being an amazing cook, but I try to make some recipes from time to time and usually it tastes fine. I'm particularly into making al kinds of different pastas or curries, so this book was just fine for me.

Some of the recipes look really great (I haven't had the time to cook some, but will definitely do this once I've got more time), and there's a great variety of different sorts of sauces. I liked the fact that the vegatarian pastas part was so big.

As always when I read a recipe book (instead of searching for them online) what I missed were pictures with every recipe. These don't need to be full page-sized, but just to give me an idea what the result should look like.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.… (altro)

Many of the recipes in this book are widely available elsewhere and so I think that the book would not be good value for an experienced cook. I did, however, think it would be an excellent choice as a gift for a student or young professional living on a tight budget. Despite the heavy use of cream, which is expensive, and, of course, truffles, most of the other recipes are delicious and economical.

I received a review copy of "Giuliano Hazan's Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes" by Giuliano Hazan (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) through NetGalley.com.… (altro)
