A Lombardian Cookbook: From the Alps to the Lakes of Northern Italy by Alessandro Pavoni

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a gorgeous cookbook! From the gorgeous cover, to the quality binding and mouth-watering photos, A Lombardian Cookbook is a book to delight the senses!

First, what I loved about this book. As you can tell, I fell in love with the book itself. The recipes are amazing as well. Cotolette Milanese–Crumbed Veal Cutlets Milan-Style (delicious!), Amaretti (an absolute delight in the mouth!!), multiple fresh pasta recipes and so much more fill the pages of this cookbook. If you’re from Australia or that area, there are tweaks with local fare such as barramundi or Murray cod.

On the other hand, there are a lot of recipes with ingredients that just aren’t available to me. That really cuts down on the amount I can actually use this cookbook.

This is a gorgeous cookbook, and I’ve enjoyed it, I just wish I could use more of it than I can. I do highly recommend it for any readers in Australia as that is where the author lives and cooks, so you should have little problem finding what you need. Enjoy!

I received a copy of this book through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
