We have the English version - my Italian reading is not good enough really. But you are right - there's so much in it. Am going home this week and hoping David will cook a few dishes for me.

Got the same book (English version) for Christmas and planning to test out some of the recipes during the long hot summer we'll be over in Italy. Can't wait!

I bought mine last year, and wouldn't you know it I found copies of it a few weeks later at a local Costco for much less (after mine was delivered from Amazon ) Anyway, I bought the 3 copies they had there and sent them to my brother and sisters for Christmas. They all wrote to tell me how much they like the book. :)

One of our daughters gave us a copy of the new English edition as a Christmas present. It is a great cookery book, very impressed. It is huge at 1,263 pages! Going to take ages to try all the recipes we like the look of. Had
Calamari alla Marchigiana with Spagetti for lunch and it was delicious!

Good to know it's available again. We've been trying to get it through Amazon and Waterstones and both had a delivery time from 4-6 weeks due to low stock.

Will check again!!

Cheers,
Stephanie

I found a copy, quite by chance, in WH Smiths Edinburgh at New Year - after Waterstones failed to get it for me by Christmas.
