I purchased this book new in the year it was released and have been using it. Overall, it's in good condition, but there's a crease on two pages. Please take a look at the photos. This looks like something I could do! If I could recreate a dish from Ristorante Al Porto with my own hands, it would be well worth the effort. This book is a re-edited compilation of "Mamoru Kataoka's Al Porto Style Delicious Dishes" (July 2004 - March 2005) and "Mamoru Kataoka's Italian Home Cooking" (April 2005 - March 2007), which were serialized in JCB's "J-Basket." A dish by Chef Kataoka, who designs on the plate A slightly luxurious Italian appetizer Aiming to be a pasta master A good salad maker is a good cook Enjoying the seasons with seasonal vegetables Enjoying seafood dishes simply and with individuality Deepening the flavor of meat stews with aromatic vegetables Making ahead and applying First edition published February 19, 2008 Kodansha Ltd.
