Title: Dated and redundant
Review: This is a great snapshot of what Italian housewives were cooking in the 1950s. It's great as a period piece but it's a huge albatross of a book with thin pages and a gazillion recipes with no context or nuance. If you are already a good Italian cook, this book will seem overly simple and redundant. If you are new to Italian cooking, you are likely to be either bored or confused. Search for books by Ada Boni, if you're looking for a vintage classic.The 1960s modern look is kind of fun but leafing through the book, the feeling is the opposite of inspiration.I am very upset that I have this book.
