Our Take:
Of all the “Giada” cookbooks, this one is our favorite. This book is well worth its $20 price just for the chicken parmesan recipe. Instead of breading chicken breasts for this dish, Giada has you dress them with fresh rosemary, thyme, and olive oil. Another great recipe is Giada’s chicken picatta, which is fresh, fast and lemony. This book includes a wonderfully simple Bolognese, a great pesto sauce, some great salads, and desserts. There are plenty of gorgeous picture too.
A Few Good Lines:
“In this book you’ll find some of the recipes that viewer’s say they like the most and others that have never been on the show (Everyday Italian on The Food Network). You can be confident making all these dishes because they’re simple. I believe a great meal does not have to be difficult or complex. The recipes are easy enough that you’ll enjoy making them every day, but so delicious your family will ask for them again and again.”
