"This is a cookbook you read, rather than simply selecting recipes. It is 100% meat free, but not 'vegetarian' in the strict sense of the word. The recipes are simple, requiring few ingredients, and often very few steps. While the techniques are simple, I would recommend this for confident cooks who require little instruction and have a good grasp on kitchen basics."
"A- This cookbook looks SO yummy! Viana takes things basics by doing things by hand. These recipes drip with Italian countryside good eats--so delicious. I plan on using many of these recipes, and though Viana would be loathe to realize, I'll probably use my food processor for the quick way out. Yum!"
"I liked the layout of this book. And the author and her ideals. Fresh and simple in season cooking. But some of the recipes were so ridiculously simple, you really didn't need a recipe at all. People who cook often improvise. At least I do anyway. And a lot of these recipes were things I might happen to make anyway. Worth looking at if you like cookbooks. But not my favorite by any means."
"For me, this was more than just a cookbook - it was an introduction to a new way of eating. Viana La Place makes an impassioned case for removing as many of the machines that come between us and our ingredients as possible, and for making every knife cut an expression of our love of life. Clear, concise recipes which never fail to produce clean, vibrant flavors are coupled with passionate food writing and subtle, evocative design."
