Review # 1 was written on 2010-09-21 00:00:00 Jeffrey Campbell The blue cheese pizzas alone are worth the purchase price. The black bean soup recipe is the best I have ever found - better than any I have been served in a restaurant. Also the best corn fritter recipe, and there are a lot of those. Goat cheese and fig tart is genius. Roasted beets with horseradish cream. And the carrot salad is bright, lemony, peanutty treasure, far removed from that mayonnaise-raisin mess we were served growing up. I could go on.... When I got married, I thought "I want to eat food I really love while I celebrate with those I love".... so most of the food we served we prepared from this cookbook.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-11-15 00:00:00 Joseph Graziano While our edition of this book is just a modest paperback by HP Books, it is clearly one of our favorite go to cookbooks for Italian food. Don't be discouraged by the lack of photographs, every recipe in this book is special. Try the two recipes for veal shanks (we use lamb) which are superb! The "Hunter-Style chicken" (aka. chicken cacciatora) is not only easy and fabulous, but also good for you with all the vegetables! I do make slight changes in the recipes to reduce fat and increase vegetables, but Biba Caggiano is clearly a great chef! Last night we had lamb "Shanks Triest-Style" with a plate of roasted vegetables and some crusty bread, and we thought, "Who needs to go out and spend big bucks at a restaurant?"
