Giada's Happy Cooking Cookbook review

Review: Happy Cooking by Giada De Laurentiis

January 6, 2016 By Joi Sigers

Happy Cooking by Giada de Laurentiis

Happy Cooking by Giada De Laurentiis

I’ll go ahead and confess, right up front, that I’m a total Food Network addict. I have been since I first got hooked on the “dream come true network for foodies” many years ago, thanks to Rachael Ray, Alton Brown, Emeril, and beautiful Giada De Laurentiis.

Since she has, over the years, provided me with some of my all time favorite recipes, I forgave her for being gorgeous long ago.

Happy Cooking is the television star’s newest cookbook and, though I’ve loved each of her cookbooks, this is definitely one of her best. The recipes are super creative, beautiful, delicious, and doable. Completely doable.

Giada’s recipes are consistently flawless. She is an expert at flavor combinations and, when it comes to Italian food in particular, nobody (and I mean nobody) does it any better. The recipes in Happy Cooking really shake up traditional favorites and make cooking exciting again.

She does an outstanding job of making recipes that should be insanely difficult insanely easy. With clear, easy to follow instructions, these recipes will quickly become your favorites.

The remarkable thing is this: the recipes in Happy Cooking look like they’d cost a small fortune to make – yet they’re honestly very reasonable. What’s more, the food you’ll create looks as though you had a personal chef stashed away in the kitchen.  A chef that answers to an authentically Italian name.

The celebrity chef is back with nearly 200 new recipes and helpful advice on everything from hosting a potluck or open house to what to pack along for lunch every day.
