Complicated recipes - not everyday.

Decent cookbook, very basic Italian food. I did like some of the recipes, but a lot of them I already had in other cookbooks. I do enjoy watching her cook on the Food Network though, she's very inviting and friendly.

I loved this one and I know I'll be using these recipes very often. From the homemade marinara sauce to the balsamic chicken, it will be so much fun trying these out and enjoying them with family and friends!

I have read this book cover to cover and tried many of Giada's recipes. Everything is clear and easy to follow. Food comes out scrumptious every single time.

Simple, easy recipes to make any homemade dinner feel like a 5-star Italian restaurant.

My nice Italian recipes, most of which are not that difficult to follow.

Nice, simple, clean recipes.

Filled with delicious sounding recipes that are easy to make (really!) and tips and stories about why they appear in the book make this one a winner. I'm an avid cookbook collector and will definitely be buying Everyday Italian for my collection.

With recipes that Strega Nona would definitely approve of, I have a feeling this cookbook is quickly going to become one of my faves. I think I'll start with the orichetti with breadcrumbs and then decide where to go from there.

A delightful cookbook that is at once a pasta-lover's dream and fun to read. Be warned, this book will make your mouth water! :)

I LOVE Giada (and so does my boyfriend)!!! She is a beautiful and talented woman. Her dishes are incredibly easy to make, and full of flavor. She always uses great combinations of food that look colorful and have many layers of taste. Many of her dishes from this book are actually pretty healthy also!

meh ... wasn't super impressed with the recipes

I liked this but wasn't wowed by it. However, I was wowed by her recipe for Panna Cotta with fresh berries and you should go make it.

I get that Giada is gorgeous. Really, she is. Stunningly so. But when I open a cookbook, I expect to see photos of, I don't know, the food described in the recipes maybe? Instead it is: Giada stirring a pot of something. Giada chopping something. Giada's million-dollar smile as she juices a lemon. I MEAN SERIOUSLY. This is a cookbook, not a fashion magazine. Good grief. Photos of garlic, photos of a cutting board + knife. SHOW ME WHAT THE PREPARED FOOD LOOKS LIKE!!

Mostly this seemed not really my style. I marked maybe three recipes I want to try. But on the whole it seemed too simplified and too Italian-American...I don't mind going to some extra effort in the kitchen and I was looking for some authentic Italian recipes. Also I was just so annoyed by the useless photography.
