Query: review f cucina amore

I think that Nick Stellino has a wonderful personality. It is entertaining to watch his show on TV.The recipes look and sound so good. However, when you actually try to make them from this book, the results are disappointing. I just threw out 1 pound of expensive shrimp. The pasta withshrimp was bland. The shrimp turned out rubbery as cooked according to his directions. Another dish, broccoli rabe and sausage turned out tasting like hospital food. His pot roast was too salty and watery, although the meat was tender. His pasta sauce was not quite right. If you can't get pasta sauce right then how are you going to have success with a book of italian recipes.Don't waste your tie making recipes that don't work. My book will just sit on the shelf for now. I really do like the guy and I hate to have to trash this book.
