Rocco Gets Real: Cook at Home, Every Day

Many books by celebrity chefs are meant more as coffee table books than books you would actually cook from on a regular basis. I have plenty of those and I love them, but they aren't practical for everyday use by home cooks.This book is different. Every recipe uses common ingredients you can buy in almost any grocery store. They are all made with very few ingredients, and they all cook quite quickly. Best of all, they actually taste great!If you like simple food with tons of bold flavor, I think you'll really like this book. This book is one you truly could use to cook for your family every day.

I received this cookbook yesterday and started flipping through it and then actually sat down and READ it -- cover to cover! Probably the best cookbook I've found. I love cooking, but as an amateur, I'm sometimes intimidated by the recipe titles, ingredients and directions for fix something. These delicious sounding recipes are concise, easy to follow and the GROCERY LIST! What can I say -- look at a glance and see what you do or don't have and make a quick list for several tasty treats at a time.Now, I live in an EXTREMELY rural area. And as I said, being an amateur, there are several items I've not heard of nor do I have any idea as to where to look for them in the store, or if I'll even be able to find them. HAHA -- but -- that'll be part of my education with this lovely book. Thanks Rocco for bring good recipe ideas to the back country!

I was a little disappointed in this cookbook compared to the comfort cookbook. Rocco is wonderful, but this cookbook is a little too gourmet for me in this one. I like wholesome food and not fancy foods. This one fell short of my expectations. But for someone who likes to cook this way, then it's great for them.

GREAT book and I have enjoyed reading this book. The vendor provided a Great price and fast shipping. I have received many hours of enjoyable reading pleasure. Kudos...

I love how easy Rocco's recipes are to make. They also taste awesome. I just bought his "Pound A Day", "Eat This, Not That" and his lastest cookbook. I am so sold on his way of cooking. The recipes are easy and delicious!!

I love the meat loaf recipe the most. My meat balls came out soft, and mild. You have to follow the recipe religiously otherwise your food will just taste like cheap restaurant food.

Good recipes, but not one of his more recent "diet" right publications. Still, good recipes.

I was looking for something a little different and this was not what I thought it would be. It does have some good recipes.

A REALLY GOOD COOK BOOK, WITH MANY NEW IDEAS, FOR HEALTHY EATING,. EASY FO FOLLOW, QUICK TO PREPARE, AND GOOD TO EAT, MOST PLEASED

Good cookbook, but recipes are not my style. May work for others just fine.

Some cool recipes, fun to try.
