I have been following Biba Caggiano's work for the past 15 or more years and she still amazes me. Her cookbooks are always the best for Italian Food I have ever found. She seems to find recipies that always work and come out the way they should. Her cooking show on TLC was as good as her books and is dearly missed. If anyone get's a chance to visit her restaurant in Sacramento, California please do so... Probably the best Italian Restaurant in the USA..From her first cookbook to her most recent they are books that need to be in every kitchen..I would not want to be in the kitchen cooking without my friend Biba!!!!

IF you love pasta, you MUST have this book. I have made so many of the dishes in it and everyone loves them! Instructions are very easy to follow too!

This book is definately one any Italian cook should have in their reference library. As the owner of over one hundred Italian cookbooks myself, this book is one I often find myself using. There is a great mix of recipes, both traditional and those with a contmporary twist, but all the recipes I've tried have been superb. As the Italian Cooking Host @ Bella Online, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Italian cuisine.

Just like the title says.

If you're looking for a good book with lots of different
styles, this is for you.

This is the 5th cookbook by Biba Caggiano that I have purchased, and I love them all. The recipes have all been great, and there's a little narrative about different Italian regions and types of food. I would recommend it for anyone's kitchen.

I love this cookbook, every recipe I have made has been wonderful and has received raving reviews from my guests. There are a few ingredients in her recipes for items that are not available in my local grocery stores, but Biba does offer more common substitutes. I have made almost every recipe and haven't crossed one off the page yet, they are also easy and not complicated.

Another WONDERFUL Book by Biba!

The Queen of Italian Cuisine! She has written a beautiful book with easy recipies and beautiful pictures...Not quite as good as her others but is a strong contender...

The book I ordered for a friend it was mailed to him had pages torn out also a colour plate . I did e mail the seller but have not heard yet

I have lost track of the various recipes of hers I have tried...all were a success. The directions are clear, and easy to follow. The recipes are just like "homemade". Make one of her dishes and your back in "momma's kitchen". I would recommend her books to anyone who wants to learn what Italian cooking is all about. If you have been fortunate enough to see any of her cooking programs on TV - she is an absolute delight. No nonsense - gets to the heart of matter and makes you want to run into your kitchen and start whipping up whatever she happens to be making. Mangia...Mangia!!!!!
