Panini, Bruschetta, Crostini: Sandwiches, Italian Style from William Morrow Cookbooks Price: $12.89 Customer Review: Many reviews of this book complain that it was recommended as a companion to a purchases of a panini press or sandwich maker, and I can see why they are disappointed.

2.		Cucina Rustica: Simple, Irresistible Recipes in the Rustic Italian Style from William Morrow Cookbooks Price: $12.24 Customer Review: In my opinion, the only thing this book is lacking are photos.

3.		Pasta Fresca: An Exuberant Collection of Fresh, Vivid, and Simple Pasta Recipes from William Morrow Cookbooks Price: $11.56 Customer Review: I bought this cookbook several years ago. While other cookbooks while away in the cupboard, "Pasta Fresca" lives on my kitchen counter. The recipes are good and mostly easy. The only challenge is finding some of the ingredients. (Luckily most of the recipes do not require hard-to-find... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Cucina Fresca: Italian Food, Simply Prepared from William Morrow Cookbooks Price: $17.05 Customer Review: This book proves that you don't need a lot of bottles and jars of pre-prepared foods to get a good meal on the table. I have cooked from this cookbook all summer and have already incorporated a lot of the recipes in my kid's lunch-boxes for school. It's not to say you don't have to plan, but I can... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		VERDURA: Vegetables Italian Style from Grub Street Cookery Price: $30.36 Customer Review: After having the eggplant torta from this book at a friends house, I immediately went home and ordered the book.

6.		My Italian Garden: More than 125 Seasonal Recipes from a Garden Inspired by Italy from Broadway Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I am so impressed by Cindy Rosenheim's illustrations -- whimsical, evocative, utterly charming.

7.		Unplugged Kitchen: A Return to the Simple, Authentic Joys of Cooking from Morrow Cookbooks Customer Review: This is my favorite book because of its design. I use it in the graphic design classes I teach to show how a recipe, its arrangement on the page, and pacing of the pages in a book can transcend mere instructional information and offer wildly wonderful emotive experiences. The subtlety that the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		La Bella Cucina: How to Cook, Eat, and Live Like an Italian from Clarkson Potter Customer Review: Musing on her life in the Salento, a rugged, isolated part of Puglia, Viana La Place ("Cucina Fresca," a classic and personal favorite) paints a romantic, convivial, earthy portrait of the simple life. The recipes, from little dishes through main courses and finishes, are enveloped in Italian ritual... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Cucina Rustica from Cookbooks Customer Review: Like another reviewer, I spent a few weeks this past summer in Italy. In a small town near Rome I had one of the most memorable meals of my life. In Naples I had a plate of spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce and basil so good if I'd dropped dead right then and there, I would have died a contented... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Desserts and Sweet Snacks: Rustic, Italian Style from William Morrow Cookbooks Customer Review: When I think of dessert, I think of mixing, baking, etc, rather than simply combining items on a plate. I'm not limiting myself to cakes and pies at all. But the "recipes" here read more like salad recipes, combining items rather than creating them. The desserts in this book are simple, and rustic... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
