I have made 5-6 recipes and cannot rave about even one. Rating: 2 / 5 I bought this title after looking and looking at many reviews for Italian cookbooks.

Everytime I hear her I want to commit suicide. The recipes are full of things you can't really get, they're kind of dull, and basically nothing to write home about. Did I mention how dull and pretentious her stupid radio program on NPR is? This is NPR to the nth degree. Dull, dull, dull.
