“While many recipes are high in fat and calories, these are more simple and healthier,” one Amazon reviewer wrote. “They tie in very well to the Mediterranean Diet and don’t require seasonings that are not in your pantry already. Recommend.”
Another person said, “I’m really enjoying this cookbook — I’ve made several items — including the Do it all Parmesan Dressing — and IT IS INCREDIBLE! I’ve also made the arugula pesto that is part of the Ziti with Roasted Garlic & Arugula Pesto — the pesto alone is incredibly yummy! I also appreciate just how simple most of the recipes are — it’s nice having great food that doesn’t require a lot of one-off ingredients or lots of steps. Great job Giada!!!”
“I always review cookbooks by borrowing from the library to look at before buying. This cookbook was bought on the spot,” someone else wrote. “The first section has a lot of great sauces. The pasta section looks inspiring. My book is already marked with stickies. I have followed Giada’s career for many, many years. Can’t wait to elevate while staying healthy!”
Pick up Super Italian while it’s just $13 on Amazon and start living a healthier and more delicious life!
