Many cookbooks shine with crisp newness. The pages have a smooth sheen; the pictures are perfect. But that's not the case with Biba Caggiano's Biba's Italy, and it's all the better for it.
Soon to be released in the US and the UK is a range of food specialities from the Bisol stable (Bisol is a producer of Prosecco and other wines based just north of Venice). The range is labelled Jada - Specialità Gastronomiche.
Local produce is used nearly exclusivly across the range - there are Pears in Prosecco (Perine al Prosecco), mixed berries in Prosecco (Frutti di Bosco in Sciroppo di Vins Prosecco), radicchio in extra virgin olive oil, tagliatelle also made with radicchio and various meat products such as Soppressa and Lardo and a couple of cheeses.
Continuing the wine theme they also produce a Panettone made with, yep you guessed it, Prosecco that contains Prosecco grapes from the 'cru' vineyards of Cartizze. One product that I have personally sampled - several times ;-) - during my recent visit is Cartizzini. These are small, two-bite biscuits, not too sweet, containing a semi-dried Prosecco grape from the Cartizzi vineyard. As I said, not that sweet, and superb with a chilled glass of the bubbly!
No details as yet of stockists or prices. Hopefully I can report back when the details are finalised and they let me know.
Everybody raves over Two-Buck Chuck, the sub-three-dollar Trader's Joe's wine made by Charles Shaw.

good you'll think it came from your favorite restaurant.
It's inevitable- a recipe calls for an herb you know you have in your pantry, or at least you thought so. Next time you're in a pickle, check out this herb substitution chart.
