There is an interesting variety of recipes in this book, including homemade cheese, homemade spice mixes, and balsamic vinegar reduction!  Most of the recipes are easy to make, once you assemble the ingredients.Two comments:His sauce has ingredients which I wouldn't like permeating my dishes (ingredients vary from different regions of Italy).... You can easily find basic sauces in other books which could be substituted.... And in a crunch you could use a high quality sauce from the market.I wish he had provided some guidelines for freshness, storage, etc.  What is the shelf life of homemade ricotta?  Does the balsamic reduction need to be stored in a sterilized container?Otherwise, good book with a nice assortment of recipes.Enjoy!
