Mamma Mia .... atts a goooood book ...5
If you can't find a sauce in this book that you will love then, my friend, you must want to have sauces made with crushed flies!

The book is divided into 26 chapters based on the main ingredient for the sauces that you may be lloking for. ie. sauces made from buttur/olive oil; cream and meat or seafood;cream;;nutmeats;tomatoes;tomatoes and meat;uncooked cheese ;vegetrables ... ecte ect

Each of the recepies is clear cut SUPER FAST in most cases ( except the simmering for some sauces) and, MOST IMPORTANT, the author gives us a full list of the ingredient options.

I just made the four cheese sauce and if you can't find the Fontina, Bel Paeze or Gorgonzola cheese the recipie calls for he gives us a list of other cheeses to replace the ones asked for in the ITALIAN recepie. WOW .... you know there are very very few cookbooks with that kind of simple foresight...

I think the book must weigh in at over 500 pages ... has NO pictures (a disadvantage in my book) is all written in large capital lettesr and leaves a section for you to write when you tried the recepie and if you loved it or hated it ...

If you like pasta dishes this book is a MUST buy .........

Bellissino is fun to read & even more helpful in the kitchen5
Bellissino has done American cooks a great service. Each chapter features Old-World sauces by ingredients and pasta types. Many vegetarian and meatless sauces, and also a truly "only in America" low-fat tip---use a Chinese wok to saute garlic, onions, etc., to reduce the amount of olive oil and have plenty of room for veggies and sauce! People keep borrowing this book from our kitchen, so we have several! Also a great housewarming gift with a wok and a good bottle of wine!

A sauce for every occasion and then some.......5
I have given this cookbook as a gift over and over since the sauces in this book are delicious and most are simple to make. Whenever I have some extra ingrediants I don't want to go to waste, I can always find a sauce to use them in and I have never been disappointed! It is "the greatest collection of pasta sauces ever in one book."
