I was so excited when this cookbook came out. Laura is a big Youtube star in the cooking world. She is from Italy but has been in the USA since the age of 12. She learned to cook from her family and used to help her father cook in a restaurant the family owned. Her Youtube show has the same name as the book: Laura in the Kitchen. It is a family operation where Laura is the star and her husband Joe is behind the camera lens. You can see a sample of her recipes and cooking segments on laurainthekitchen.com. What I love about her style is that she is not "chef-y". Her recipes are simple and accessible to the home cook. They always taste delicious. This is her first cookbook.Contents of the book:Welcome to My Kitchen, Family Basics, Quick Fix /Suppers, Leisurely entrees, super simple salads and sides, irresistible desserts, the cookie jar, easy breakfast and brunchesWhat I LOVE about this book (Favorite Recipes)Just like the Youtube show, Laura's recipes are not difficult or tedious. She lays out instructions step by step so it is easy to follow along. The food is, as always, delicious. My FAVORITE recipe though is The Cheesiest Ever Broccoli Mac and cheese. This is the best Mac and cheese I've ever had in my life. It is crunch and gooey and the secret ingredient (mustard) just puts things over the edge. I could eat this every day and never get bored. Another fave is her Balsamic Roasted Beets. It such a simple recipe but it is so full of flavor and very good for you.Vegetarian/Pescatarian PerspectiveSo, I have a pescatarian kitchen. That means I cook only vegetable dishes and fish. I do not cook meat in my home. There are a lot of meat dishes in this book. Granted, this is not a vegetarian cookbook by any means and there are some good looking meat dishes in here. Some examples of meat dishes are Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast and Mama's Italian Meat Loaf. I think a lot of people would LOVE these dishes if they eat meat. But for people that do not eat meat, while there are some vegetarian options and also dessert, I do not feel like there are enough options and you may be disappointed. And if you are vegan, there are even fewer options for you.OverallOverall, I am happy with the book. I really love Laura Vitale and her recipes and I'm happy to be the proud owner of her cookbook. I still enjoy watching her YouTube channel. The recipes in the book are different than the ones she makes on her channel so that is definitely a reason to get the book. Although I can't try all the recipes in this book, all the recipes I do try of hers comes out great and are tasty. She's an excellent cooking teacher. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars The Basics Of Italian Cooking *by P***B on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2018* Laura Vitale is a big name in authentic Italian cooking on youtube.
