Negative Positive
Title: What's all the fuss...
Review: This book and the response to it remind me of the Emperor's New Clothes. What a scam. I tried two recipes: spaghetti with tuna and marble cake. With tweaking, the spaghetti with tuna was fine/nothing special but the marble cake was a disaster that could not even be baked. There was obviously no test kitchen to check out the translations!Also, in looking over this book, it seems so incredibly dated. Why would anyone want to go back to 50's cooking!? I will stick with Marcella Hazan, Lorenza d'Medici, and other more recent authors of books on Italian cooking.
Is the review positive or negative?
