Reddit mentions of Autentico: Cooking Italian, the Authentic Way

I keep getting new cookbooks so I don't go back all that often, but here are my thoughts on my most recent additions.

1. Autentico by Rolando Beramendi (https://www.amazon.com/Autentico-Cooking-Italian-Authentic-Way/dp/1250124972): This is an "authentic" Italian cookbook that definitely will provide you with new recipes and ways of thinking of Italian cuisine. However, the drawback is the editing and binding leave a lot to be desired. For a number of recipes I've had to write in my own amounts (noticeably how much oil is called for, usually less is needed) and the binding makes it so the book will not lay flat and open to the desired page. My review: 2/5
   
2. Dinner: Changing the Game by Melissa Clark (https://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Changing-Game-Melissa-Clark/dp/0553448234): My favorite new cookbook for recipes, this seems to have family recipes in mind. I say that because it covers a variety of cuisines and blends a couple so if you purchase this, you won't become a one trick pony. My review: 4/5
   
3. French Cooking at Home by Marianne Magnier Moreno (https://www.amazon.com/French-Cooking-Marianne-Magnier-Moreno/dp/0062641077): A must have, this book is amazing from the recipes to the editing. The pictures are fantastic and for many recipes provide pictures of the various steps to help you along. A large portion of the book is dedicated to providing education on techniques from simply cutting a potato to making chicken ballotines. My review: 5/5
   
4. Lidia's Mastering the Art of Italian Cuisine by Lidia Matticchio Bastrianich (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/224734/lidias-mastering-the-art-of-italian-cuisine-by-lidia-matticchio-bastianich-and-tanya-bastianich-manuali/#): If you're looking for an Italian cookbook I couldn't recommend Lidia's more. It is filled with incredible recipes (both traditional and some things you'll find new) and educational material, but not quite as in depth as French Cooking at Home. It doesn't have any pictures inside which is disappointing, but either way it is an incredible book that you won't regret buying. My review: 4/5
