*My Review*
While I'm all about cooking(and eating haha) I am not impresed with this book. I used to help my grandparents make pasta as a child, so the only thing this book really did for me was bring back the amazing childhood memories. I honestly can't say that I will ever use this book, but if I ever decide to make my own pasta...then I will already have this book! It's not one I would have gone out and spent money on.
