Put this book on your kindle!
I just purchased my kindle and was delighted to see "Biba's Northern Italian Cooking"which I immediately downloaded. I bought the original book which was published by HP books. Everytime I used it for guests for dinner they would rave about the meal and I would give them my copy. Over the years I can't count the number of times I have repurchased this cookbook. Now it's on my kindle and my guests will have to buy their own copy.
Biba's Northern Italian Cooking
Biba's reciepe book is the bible for my family. Every woman in our family has this book...my original additon is tattered...and I just bought it for my new daughter-in-law. It is filled with the basic receipies of our Northern Italian Background. It is like having all my grandmother's receipes in on convenient book. We love it and love Biba.

It's now my daughter's turn
An earlier edition of this continues to be my favorite Italian cookbook after 15 years. I just purchased a new copy to give to my daughter for her first cookbook.
Every recipe from this book that I've tried over the years has been delicious. There are other great Italian cookbooks out there, and I own some of them, too. I like this one in particular for Caggiano's recipe selection, and its sample illustrations of preparation technique and presentation. The visuals were reassuring when I was new to cooking and entertaining. Now, when I'm deciding on a dinner, this is one of the books I consult out of reflex.
Italian cuisine varies across the penninsula. Most Italian-Americans came from the south. If you are accustomed to southern italian cooking, many of the recipes in this book will be brand new to you, and add a savory variety to your menu.
From appetizers to pasta, polenta, risotto, main courses, vegetables, sauces and desserts, I've made many wonderful dinners with what I call "Biba's book".
