From Biba's Italian Kitchen

Even though I live in the country...I am Italian born and I miss the wonderful, simple cooking of my homeland. Most ingredients are close at hand.(even in Alabama!) But with the guidance of Biba, Italy is just a page away. I was sent tapes of her show on a regular basis and I have every one of her books. Her cookbooks are a tool that every Italian cook should have nearby.It is a shame that TLC stopped airing cooking shows because she was so good at teaching. I dream of the day that I can go to California to meet her and sit at her restaurant. Biba if you can hear me, you are loved all over the world.

I love this book. Biba's recipes are easy to follow and turn out beautifully. The Shells with shrimp and artichoke hearts is fantastic. Biba's cookbooks are the only Italian cookbooks I use regularly anymore.

Biba Caggiano has written 6 books and hosted a GREAT show on the Learning Channel..Her food is simple but done in such an effortless way that the recipies are always perfect..I have never cooked from a book that recipe after recipe is consistantly perfect! Bravo to Biba...The P.B.S. stations should have her as a Chef if they knew what was good for them..She puts the other Italian Chefs way behind..She is truly a GENIUS!

Fantastic recipe book! It has become my bible for italian cooking. Many recipes have become staples in my daily cooking. I also remember dining in her restaurant as one of my favorite all-time meals.

Wonderful Cookbook. There is a Spinach Rissoto that is out of this world. A must try.
