Pasta Fresca: An Exuberant Collection of Fresh, Vivid, and Simple Pasta Recipes Reviews

Review by Gail Martin:
I found “Pasta Fresca” when it first came out in the early ’90s and have loved it ever since. The recipes are easy, simple, and fresh. Summer Spaghetti: Fresh tomatoes and basil, marinated at room temperature with garlic and olive oil, tossed with mozzarella and hot pasta. “Beach Pasta”: Small pasta shells, tuna, tomatoes, olives, and anchovies. Both have become staples for me, and every new recipe I try from the book turns out well. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It also makes a great wedding present for couples just starting out.

Review by :
I bought this book on a lark and now use it often with great results. The last time that I made dinner from it my guest was overwhelmed by the great aromas wafting from the kitchen. She loved the meal as well. The recipes are easy to understand and include unusual ideas that I have never seen before.

Pasta Salad: 50 Favorite Recipes Reviews

Review by B. Marold:
The author of `Pasta Salad’, Barbara Lauterbach, is a culinary teacher and author of two other books on traditional salad types, `Potato Salad’ and `Chicken Salad’.This type of cookbook is always one of the easiest to add to one’s collection, in that if you like the single subject of the book, you are virtually assured of making good use of the book, unlike a volume by the latest celebrity chef or latest exploration of the cuisine of a former Soviet republic.There are three key aspects of the book which add to its attraction. First, almost all recipes are not only fairly simple, they virtually all follow the same pattern, just like gratins, braises, and chowders. Second, although there are a lot of similarities in method, the range of tastes is broad. While French and Italian flavors are the most common, there is a strong contingent of Asian, Greek, and Latin flavors and textures from the use of Oriental noodles like udon, soba, and rice noodles. Third, since the noodles, `supporting cast’ of meats and vegetables, and the dressings are so interchangeable, improvisation can take you well beyond the nominal fifty recipes in the book.The book begins with five master recipes for vinaigrette, mayonnaise, roasting peppers, blanching vegetables, and toasting nuts and seeds. If you have few cookbooks, these are important to have near at hand. I may have added a recipe for aioli, at least as a variation on mayonnaise.There are four chapters on salad recipes. The first, largest, and most interesting is on the vegetable pasta salad. The very first recipe for a salad including squash shows the variety of this dish. Other favorite and unusual ingredients are mango, jicama, pears, and peaches. As you could tell from the master recipe on roasting peppers, this is one of the author’s favorite ingredients. It appears in several different vegetable recipes. The second and shortest chapter adds meat, primarily chicken. I would not be surprised to see a little borrowing from an earlier book in this chapter. The third chapter of recipes covers seafood with all the usual suspects, lobster, shrimp, anchovies, crab, tuna, and salmon. The last chapter of recipes is a catchall of recipes `from family and friends’. It is altogether fitting that this chapter ends with a recipe for the great American `retro macaroni salad’ with mayonnaise, onions, bell pepper, and celery.The book has the contemporary `de rigeur’ feature of cookbooks is a headnote which tells a story of how each recipe was developed, it’s life outside this book, and how it was chosen for the book. Except for attributions of recipes to family and friends, there is no credit given to any other sources. With a pinch of skepticism, I will believe that the author developed most of the recipes. I was almost expecting to see my favorite `World’s Best’ pasta salad recipe done by Jamie Oliver, but these are all just as good.There are a few blemishes that are as much a weakness of the publisher’s copy editor as of the author. One is the flip side of my pet peeve where it is said that salt must melt into the liquid of vinaigrette before adding the oil. For all the times the word `dissolve’ is misused, here is a case where it is missing and it should have been used. Another blemish is an inconsistency in the amount of water specified for cooking pasta in the text and in a table. None of these are serious. I just hope that pointing them out will encourage book publishers to be more vigilant in future volumes.Subjects the author may wish to consider in a second edition of this book are discussions of whole wheat noodles, the impact on a carb sensitive diet from these recipes, and a bit more discussion of mayonnaise and safe storage. I do give the author very high marks for notes on the `shelf life’ of the recipes. That is, which should be served cold, which should be served warm, which can be refrigerated and for how long, and which should be served immediately. You don’t always get this stuff in your Wednesday newspaper culinary supplement.Highly recommended if you make pasta salads. Slightly pricy for fifty recipes, but the chances that you will use a large number of the recipes is very, very good. Easy for all skills and ages!

Review by :
Whether you are a great cook or a family-pleasing cook, looking for something “different” to serve, do pick up the “Pasta Salad” cookbook by Barbara Lauterbach. She makes it so easy, by giving you a list of 22 different kinds of pasta, how to measure them and mix them with vegetables, meat, poultry and fish. There are many delicious and different dressings that complement the salads. You will love the salads offered by her family and friends, and delightful stories about each. This is a unique touch you will find in all of Barbara’s books. This is a must, to add to your favorite recipes, or send to a friend you want to impress.

Giuliano Hazan’s Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes

Now that America’s low-carb obsession is over, home cooks are once again looking to prepare well-balanced meals that include everyone’s favorite food—pasta. Few of us, though, have the leisure to create a classic Bolognese meat sauce from scratch. For those who are as pressed for time as they are starved for a toothsome bowl of beautifully sauced pasta, Giuliano Hazan has created 100 scrumptious pasta dishes that can be put together in half an hour or less.  Hazan’s repertoire—hearty pasta soups, fresh-from-the-greenmarket vegetarian dishes, and meat and seafood sauces that take their cue from the classics of Italian cuisine—will let you bring healthful, hunger-satisfying pasta back to your family’s weeknight-supper table. Included are recipes for last-minute dishes, as well as useful advice on stocking your pasta pantry, choosing cooking equipment, and figuring out which pasta shape goes with which kind of sauce.  PRAISE FOR GIULIANO HAZAN’S THIRTY MINUTE PASTA “Grazie, Giuliano, you’ve made busy weeknight dinners pasta perfect.” —Book Page

“Highly recommended for time-pressed home cooks.” —Library Journal

“The Italian food expert has created a cookbook combining various types of pasta in ways that even people with little free time can enjoy.”  —San Francisco Chronicle

“Hazan’s latest title just keeps on satisfying, with so little effort on my part.” —Austin Chronicle

“ Using few ingredients, simple directions, quick results and wonderful Italian taste. —Daily News of Los Angeles

Giuliano Hazan’s Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes Reviews

Review by A. S. Johnson:
This is an excellent cookbook for creating simple pasta meals that are a little adventurous and very tasty. The author has several sections – vegetarian dishes, seafood dishes, and meat dishes – with enough recipes in each section to make this a very usable book no matter what your eating habits. That is, unless you’ve gone gluten free. Even then, I suppose you could use this book with non-gluten pastas.

Another thing I like about this book is that the recipe requirements are not out of the ordinary. I tried the pasta alia puttanesca bianca and I had all the ingredients. I also had all the ingredients on hand for several other meals. I think this is a great book for a quick, delicious meal on a busy night or even if you’re having company over.

Review by M. M. Miller:
Giuliano Hazan’s newest cookbook delivers what it promises – and more. With just a few ingredients and these simple preparations, you truly can make trattoria-quality pasta in only half an hour. The bonus: these dishes will have everyone at your table ooo-ing, aah-ing, and thinking you’ve spent hours cooking for them.

Hazan’s teaching skills are evident in his clear, concise recipes, making this a perfect book for cooks just learning the beauty of genuine Italian cooking. But, it’s even better for old cooks (like me) who want to stir up a delicious Italian dinner in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta.

The photos are simply beautiful, the pasta and pantry info is concise and thorough, and each recipe includes interesting notes on the dish’s history and ingredients. My favorites so far: Fettucine with a Savory Veal Sauce, Linguine with a Pink Shrimp Sauce, and Fettucine with Spring Vegetables (good in any season). I use this book several times a week, and can’t wait to try all 100 recipes – a real challenge, since I can’t stop repeating my favorites!
