Trattoria Cooking

I have been a fan of Biba Caggiano for a long time. I've been interested in her books from the time she had her TV Food Show and was looking for them. When I thought of looking on Amazon for them, I bought it!

We have cherished this cookbook for over a dozen years~ have made most of the recipes and highly recommend thiscookbook. Our family lived in Italy for 7 1/2 years and this cookbook has become almost a family bible~ we havetaped photos inside the book of our family at different trattorias in Napoli, Toscana, Venezia, etc. Lots of wine notesand comments next to recipes we love. And there are so many fabulous recipes! Also, great suggestions for restaurantsand trattorias throughout Italy. Biba captures the spirit of Italy, the passion for food and wine and theinspiration that comes during a truly great meal with family and friends. The info in the cookbook is thorough andhelpful, especialy if you are attempting your first risotto or polenta dish. Great pasta recipes, and most are soeasy to do. I love the various recipes for chicken also. My most loved and used cookbook in a large collection.

We have been using this cook book for over twenty years and simply wore it out. The binding had broken and pages were falling out. Unfortunately, it's out of print but still available as a used copy or in a few online book stores. We found this one recently.Biba's risotto recipes are the best in the business.

Excellent recipes

I purchase this book because I had one of the original prints from maybe 20-25 years ago but unfortunately have since misplaced it due to moving. I was trying to remember a very specific recipe from that book and then found that I could get it here on Amazon.
