Editorial Review:
In her hit Food Network show Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis shows you how to cook delicious, beautiful food in a flash. And here, in her long-awaited first book, she does the same—helps you put a fabulous dinner on the table tonight, for friends or just for the kids, with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of flavor. She makes it all look easy, because it is. Everyday Italian is true to its title: the fresh, simple recipes are incredibly quick and accessible, and also utterly mouth-watering—perfect for everyday cooking. And the book is focused on the real-life considerations of what you actually have in your refrigerator and pantry (no mail-order ingredients here) and what you’re in the mood for—whether a simply sauced pasta or a hearty family-friendly roast, these great recipes cover every contingency. So, for example, you’ll find dishes that you can make solely from pantry ingredients, or those that transform lowly leftovers into exquisite entrées (including brilliant ideas for leftover pasta), and those that satisfy your yearning to have something sweet baking in the oven. There are 7 ways to make red sauce more interesting, 6 different preparations of the classic cutlet, 5 perfect pestos, 4 creative uses for prosciutto, 3 variations on basic polenta, 2 great steaks, and 1 sublime chocolate tiramisù—plus 100 other recipes that turn everyday ingredients into speedy but special dinners.What’s more, Everyday Italian is organized according to what type of food you want tonight—whether a soul-warming stew for Sunday supper, a quick sauté for a weeknight, or a baked pasta for potluck. These categories will help you figure out what to cook in an instant, with such choices as fresh-from-the-pantry appetizers, sauceless pastas, everyday roasts, and stuffed vegetables—whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll be able to find a simple, delicious recipe for it here. That’s the beauty of Italian home cooking, and that’s what Giada De Laurentiis offers here—the essential recipes to make a great Italian dinner. Tonight.

My wife told me never buy her anymore cookbooks, but she liked this one because the recipes are realistic. They contain ingrediants you have in your kitchen and don't take all day.
Rating: - Everyday Italian
I come from an Italian family, so sauce, lasagna, chicken cacciatore, were dishes we grew up with. But I longed for more, I wanted to know how to make marinara sauce, vodka sauce, risotto and many others. This fantastic book was just perfect for me. Many of the recipes are so easy and quick and delicious that for the first time I actually enjoyed cooking. I recently purchased three other cookbooks, but this one is by far my favirate.

Thirty-five years old when she published her first cook book, Giada de Laurentiis went from anthropology at UCLA to culinary school in Paris and after a successful run at LA's now defunct Spago, "Everyday Italian" began airing on the Food Network in 2003. Since then, Giada has published three more cookbooks (Giada's Family Dinners, Everyday Pasta, Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites), hosted three more shows on the Food Network (Behind The Bash, Giada's Weekend Getaways, Giada in Paradise) and ...

Rating: - Recipes that are great for everyone everyday!
Giada's first book, Everyday Italian, is one of my go-to books for great food. Although I have yet to cook every recipe, every one I HAVE made has come out wonderfully to rave reviews from my family. I admit that I am a novice in the kitchen - Giada has helped me and my husband to not look it! The directions are easy to follow and most ingredients are readily available at my local grocery. I do enjoy "cooking alongside" Giada and try to TiVo her show to watch while I experiment in the kitchen. ... Read More

Great Recipes!! Good explanations and tips.
I would just liked to have the pictures of the recipes instead of the cook! She's pretty but it's not very helpful to know of it will look like...
