"This book might not be very attractive for those who like a cookery book that is filled with fancy (color) photographs and with an attractive lay-out.
Such 'extras' are not found in this book.
What you will find are very good recipes; lovers of the Italian cuisine will not b disappointed."
"This is a classic book on traditional Italian cooking, worth reading for its introductions as much as the actual recipes. I won't cook most of the recipes (feral pig bbq, anyone?) but did copy down a few."
"Elizabeth David has long had the reputation as a good literary stylist, but I've never found her readable. Her prose suffers from the two great flaws of the artistic personality, namely fuzzy-headed thinking and too much free-associating."
