Negative Positive
Title: Excellent index, great flavor pairings
Review: The index, sorted by ingredient, is one of the most valuable aspects of this book. Open the fridge, see what you have, then let the index guide you to some delicious, unusual and ever tasty new dishes. Many of the vegetable dishes have become immediate staples in our house. The pictures are magnificent, enticing, and with out pretense. My favorite cookbook, complete and versatile. A knowledge of cooking is required, by I appreciate the restrained instructions and the ability to augment recipes from the "base" recipe, which is how I imagine this book and these recipes would have been used by generations of home cooks throughout Italy.
