This is an AWESOME book if you enjoy making pasta from scratch. Delicious recipes and every page is full of pictures detailing every step (exactly what you need if you are one of those people who loves to cook and just needs a little guidance.) Text to speech enabled.

An excellent book, worth owning. Makes me wish I had the pasta-making equipment so I could dive in and start making all the filled pastas, sheet pastas, and dumplings that are some of the most intriguing recipes in the book. The brilliant photography really sells each dish and style of noodle, taking you step-by-step through the whole process. Moving this to my Amazon wish list!

How to make a world of handmade noodles, stuffed pasta, dumplings, and more

Green, Aliza (text) & Steve Legato (photogs.). Making Artisan Pasta: How To Make a World of Handmade Noodles, Stuffed Pasta, Dumplings, and More. Quarry: Quayside. Jan. 2012. 176p. photogs. index. ISBN 9781592537327. pap. $24.99. COOKING
James Beard Award winner Green teams up again with photographer Legato (after The Fishmonger’s Apprentice) to produce a beautifully photographed directory on how to make all types of pasta in your own kitchen, with just a few kitchen tools. And don’t think only of Italian—there are a few representative recipes from other countries, such as pot stickers, pierogi, and udon noodles. Recipes vary by shape, flour type, and flavoring. By following the easy, step-by-step instructions and hundreds of photographs, readers will be inspired to make their own delicious creations. The book contains many useful extras such as nutrition information, resources, and a glossary, but those who want to serve a homemade sauce along with their pasta fresca may need to consult another resource.
Verdict This is a terrific choice for any library as it will be useful for both experts and novices alike. Mangia!—Jane Hebert, Mount Juliet, TN (
