Review of "The cooking of Italy"

I recently looked over this book called The cooking of Italy. This book contains many different recipes, and  is split into sections such as, Soups and Salads, Pasta Pizza and Polenta, Meats and Vegateables Desserts. Not only does this book contain recipes, but it also includes safety tips. At the beginning of the book, there is a section called "A word about safety" it consists of 11 safety. The book states "Safety and common sense are the two most important ingredients in any recipe. Before you begin to make the recipes in this book, take a few minutes to master some simple kitchen safety rules. An example would be do not use a knife while your hands are wet because it may cause the knife to slip. This book makes things very easy for the reader, because it breaks down how to do everything step by step. It teaches you cooking terms such as Battuto. A Battuto is a chopped mixture of onion, garlic mixture in different combinations in the recipes for soups, pasta sauces, vegetable dishes, and main dishes too. Chop, which means to use a sharp knife to cut food into pieces. Saute, which means to lightly fry ingredients in a small amount of fat, butter, or oil, while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Simmer, which means to cook just below the boiling point. And last but not least, Skim, which means to remove fats or cooking residues as ingredients go from raw to cooked. It gives you ingredients you can use to replace other ingredients, and gives you options. When it comes to reading recipes, the author advises reading the entire thing before attempting to begin making your meal. Also, getting things prepped is a very important part of cooking. It is a good idea to have all the ingredients, and all of the materials needed to make your meal out, or close by, this is all a part of being organized so that everything can go smoothly and as planned.
