Tolle, klassische italienische Rezepte in modern gestaltet. Die Bilder finde ich super und freue mich schon aufs Nachkochen. Die zusätzlichen funfacts lockern das Buch auf und lassen es frischer und peppiger wirken.

This cookbook features fun, authentic, simple, and approachable recipes that don’t take forever to make. It includes a wide variety of recipes, from simple appetizers to desserts, that I would have thought were much more complex if you just put the finished product in front of me. I enjoyed the humorous tips, and the photos were fun and colorful. Cooking should be enjoyable, and this cookbook did not disappoint.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I didn't really like the book. The recipes in it are ok but didn't grab my attention at all even though I love italian cousine. I liked the food pictures but some of the other ones were a bit too much for me.

I love the aesthetic of this cookbook, and all of the recipes sound amazing! I am really excited to make some of the pasta and pizza dishes!

You had me at ' Italian meals in 30 minutes'. I love the concept of this book, the fact that you can create something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen really appeals to me. There are quirky descriptions and graphics which I also loved, along with the delicious recipes that made my mouth water just thinking about them. I can't wait to make the Panelle Di Ceci, Pomodori Gratinati, and the ASAP Gnocchi. Yum! I would highly recommend this book.

I adore the joy and joie de vivre that comes through in every inch of this book, but be forewarned about the practicality! A recipe for Olives with herbs, fresh chili, and garlic suggests an array of punchy flavors including oregano and parsley, and an olive leaf garnish. These are actually pretty new suggestions for dressing up a bowl of olives! But, the recipe calls for over 2 lbs olives and 2.5 cups olive oil! Its ostensibly for 10 people, but that’s really a lot of olives.

So many of these recipes are easy and adaptable. I love cookbooks like this that are really about bringing friends together and having fun and making delicious food with what you have, with very little perfection, anxiety and stress. Just what the world needs! Some of the recipes call for harder to find ingredients, like zucchini flowers, capers in salt, “friselle,” and other things only found on a trip to an Italian deli, which aren’t always easy to find in the US – or online (which comes with carbon footprint guilt). A lot of recipes are for fried things, which aren’t a home cook’s favorite. Some of the recipes, such as a Summer lemon salad which is basically marinated lemon peel – I don’t know if that is something people want to eat. Many of the recipes involve wonderful Italian cheeses – tons of burrata, mozzarella, and Stracciatella. A lot of pasta, a lot of pizza, and a photograph of a woman with an octopus over her head, in a shower, which is actually really unappealing.

I absolutely adore "Big Mamma Italian Recipes in 30 Minutes" by Big Mamma. The recipes are not only delicious and easy to follow, but they also come with a side of humour that truly sets this cookbook apart. The playful names of the dishes make cooking a fun experience, and the vibrant photographs add to the overall enjoyment of trying out new recipes.
The cooking tips provided in the book are constructive, making it easy to recreate authentic Italian dishes in my kitchen.
I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who loves Italian food or wants to add fun and flavour to their cooking routine. It's a joy to read and cook from, and I can't wait to try out more recipes in the future. Grazie mille, Big Mamma, for sharing your delicious recipes with us!

So many recipes, these are all great and easy to follow. My daughter loved how bright it is as well. I recommend it for anyone that likes yummy food fast!

Beautifully presented, delicious, simple yet creative. This was an awesome collection of recipes. So good!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook features Italian recipes that can be made in about 30 minutes. The book is fun and bright, and I appreciate the tips throughout. Some of the recipes are out of my cooking comfort zone, but there are enough ideas that I am eager to try!

Thank you NetGalley and The Quarto Group for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

4.5/5 rounding up to 5 Stars! Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion for Big Mamma Italian Recipes in 30 Mins by Big Mamma!

WOWZA! I love me some cookbooks where recipes only take about 30 mins! I love the humor bits and quirkiness to this cookbook, the photos were an awesome touch too!

My whole family LOVE Italian food, especially when it's homemade pasta and pasta sauce. I love how much love is done in cooking these meals and they taste amazing too! My addiction has been all about Foccaia lately and the texture of it is just...*kiss gesture* FANTASTIC.

The desserts are going to be my next project to make, especially the chocolate pudding and Choco-lover crumble. Every once in a while I"ll find a good Pinterest recipe to follow, but I am so glad to have come across this book, it was more than fantastic and I love the extra puns. I will definitely need this cookbook in my kitchen!

Not your average Italian cookbook! Before reading this ARC, I'd never heard of the Big Mamma franchise, but I'll be in France later this year and I plan to check it out! I've learned that Big Mamma has locations in France, Spain, Germany, England...and of course, Italy...

This cookbook is playfully fun and features classic (and uncomplicated) recipes with spirited names like Panna Wintour, Jon Bon Chovy and Figgin' beautiful, all which can be prepared in 30 minutes or less.

Infused with vibrants pops of color, stunning photography, helpful cooking tips, and iconic Italian playlists, this cookbook celebrates and embodies La Dolce Vita with a uniquely modern twist!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Big Mamma Italian Recipes is a quirky fun cookbook. I love all the little humorous bits with punny recipe names and little doodles.

The cookbook includes Apretivo, Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, Controni, pizze, dolci, and back to basics. The recipes are easy to follow and have clear instructions. This cookbook is amazing for an authentic Italian recipes.

This is a fabulous cookbook. The recipes are lovely, delicious, easy to follow and the photographs are beautiful. What sets this apart is the humor. It’s a fun read. I read in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. It usually helps me get back to sleep. This one had me hungry, earmarking recipes to make and laughing out loud. I’ve made the pomodori gratinati, leeks grigliati, tagliatelle al fungi porcini, and the risotto all monzese thus far and yum! It was a rainy week and cooking is stress relief for me. Can’t wait to try many others. This would be a wonderful addition to any collection.

Growing up my father would frequently spend an entire day making an Italian recipe for dinner. Knowing that I have a short attention span and limited time to make dinners I usually shy away from cooking all but the most basic Italian recipes for my family. I was excited to see so many authentic recipes that can be made within 30 minutes and can't wait to try some of them.

Cooking and humor go hand and hand and this book does not lack either. I love Italia cusine . This book is filled with great recipes from Cheese Pops to Beignet and the Jets (looks yummy by the way) it will take you through how to make them all. There are tips and fun information throughout the book. The pictures are so inviting and appetizing I start saying I want to make this one and see another and change my mind. I did like the 10 Ultimate Italian Cheeses as I love any cheese. I do think this book is for the advanced cook as I think some of the recipes are not for the novice. The index is done very well also by category and by ingredient. I recommend this book for anyone who loves true Italian Cusine.

You'd think that there's only so many ways to write a cookbook, with ingredients, a little backstory and (hopefully) clear instructions, but I'm pleased to say Big Mamma is a little different.

The puns are insufferably cheesy at times (although to me this is a delightful selling point), with super approachable language that doesn't take things too seriously. Mediterranean cooking in general, particularly Italian, is done more with love than exacting measurements. I love that they even address this early on with QB (Quanto Basta, as much as required/to taste). I've always said that garlic in a recipe is measured with love, not in grams.

There's alternative suggestions in recipes allowing for a vegetarian diet, or even just taste preferences, which really appeals to me. I often alter recipes a little to suit my tastes and I can't tell you how useful it is to have those suggestions ready made and right there.

Excellent book all in all, for any and all levels of cook I think. The friendly and less serious approach makes it a joy to read and makes me want to explore the dishes I wouldn't usually cook.

The day I got this book I made the Lemon Spaghetti dish for myself and my daughter. It tasted fantastic, we both absolutely wolfed it down and I cant wait to try all the other recipes in the book

Very fun cookbook packed with recipes that I found easy to execute and shop for. There were very few specialty ingredients that could potentially be hard to source, which I really appreciated. Directions were clear and easy to follow.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, White Lion Publishing, and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this book. This fun book is full of authentic Italian recipes with punny names. Clear directions and pictures of the finished product make it easy to use. A great addition to any collection.
