Viaggio di Vetri

Any opinions from those who have it?

It's one of the most beautiful, and most beautifully produced cookbooks I've ever seen. Just gorgeous.

It's also one of the most self-congratulatory, self indulgent cookbooks ever. For the home cook, maybe one out of ten recipes is workable. But there are so many photos of the handsome Dude himself that recipes seem as if they were an afterthought.

Thank you. I briefly glanced at it the other day as my daughter was pulling me to the children's section.

I don't know that I agree with this. For a restaurant cookbook, I find most of the recipes easily attainable by an avid home cook.

Maybe you've gotten too distracted by the Dude to have paid much attention to the recipes?

As an aside, for those who might be in the downtown Philadelphia area on Saturday November 8th, the 'Dude' himself will be at Foster's Homeware doing a free cooking demonstration and a cookbook signing. Check here for details.
