MODERN ITALIAN COOKING

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, simple, authentic recipes
Review: Being from Italy I am very skeptical about italian cookbooks. When I found this one in a bookstore I thought it looked better than any cookbook I had seen. I have now owned it for about 10 years and have given it to countless friends as a gift. I have made a majority of the recipes and have never been disappointed. I am particularly happy with how simple most recipes are: as is the case with true Italian cooking, only a few ingredients and a little bit of time can make some spectacular dishes. Without question an excellent book for anyone wishing to experiment with Italian cooking, and even for Italians longing for some great recipes.

Review: I love this cookbook -- my hubby got it for me at an estate sale! IT is teaching me stuff my mom could not have taught me. I was raised with Iowa farm-style Americana fare -- with lots of shortcuts with prepared, frozen and canned food. Learning to cook with high-quality fresh foods has saved me money, and raised the level of yumminess and my excitement about cooking for our large family!

Review: We love this book so much, we wore out the first copy. This is our SECOND COPY! This cookbook from Biba is excellent. The recipes are actually authentic (at least from my childhood.)
