Book Reviews of The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces
Book Review: Great book, but be careful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was rather amazing. All of the recipes turned out great, and many of them were very simple. The traditional pasta sauces like Pesto and Pomodoro turned out quite well, and several simple vegetable sauces also turned surprisingly good for how simple they were to prepare. Simple grocery store canned tuna was turned into something wonderful in Seed's recipes for Tonno e Limone and Tonne e Pomodoro. And my favorite recipe I've tried so far was a lemon sauce made from heavy cream, two lemons, a little grappa, and nothing else. It just provided a very silky, lemony coating to some very fortunate linguine. The best thing about these recipes is that they work in a weekday throw together meal or as the pasta course in an elegant Italian dinner. It's a really versatile book, and very nicely illustrated to boot.
The only downside is that the recipes are a little imprecise for my taste. Too often, I found myself asking "do I simmer covered, or uncovered" and other various forks in the recipe road where the author provides no direction. I understand this is part of the nature of Italian cooking and if it turns out well, who cares? But a beginning cook is probably going to find this a bit confusing, and those who like precise recipes down to the letter are probably not going to like it as much as I did.
