Who better to capture the food and soul of authentic Italian cuisine than five-time cookbook author (with more than 600,000 copies of her books in print), award-winning chef and restaurant-owner Biba Caggiano?
In her new book, Biba's Italy: Favorite Recipes from the Splendid Cities, Biba guides food lovers along a culinary tour of Italy's five great dining destinations—Rome, Florence, Bologna, Milan and Venice—with personal recollections of her life in Italy sprinkled throughout.
Biba's Italy is part cookbook, part culinary road map, with recipes native to each region along with travel tips on restaurants, wine bars, gelaterie, food markets, and cooking schools. Highlights from cities include:
When in Rome...sample local wine and food at places such as Checchino dal 1887, Enoteca Ferrara and Hostaria Romanesca. Recipes include Bucatini with Pancetta, Pecorino, and Black Pepper, and Roman Sweet Buns with Raisins and Pine Nuts.
Biba's Italy is a delectable collection perfect for food and travel lovers alike. Truly splendid food from splendid cities, by a splendid author.
