Worth every penny!

I just love this cookbook! Biba's recipes are well explained and go from simple and hearty to elegant and sophisticated! This is my northern Italian cookbook bible! Try the shellfish risotto, friggione, or tuna fish sauce recipes, and you'll see what I mean.Biba also includes seasonal menus which has really helped me alot with putting together dinners for my husband's Italian family! This is a great set of recipes and, if you like Italian food, or, if you're like me and don't really like pasta - this may be the book you've been looking for!

great yet simple recipes!

My first Italian cookbook and I'm really pleased with it. I've tried 5 of her recipes in the last 3 weeks and all were successes. Tasty and easy to prepare. The recipes call for a few basic and easily obtainable ingredients and require short preparation time. This is a gem!

Bellissima!

I've used an old version of this cook book for 20 years. I love all her cookbooks. This is my bible for Northern Italian food. Biba is a warm and authentic person. Check out her excellent restaurant in Sacramento.
