Fabio Viviani
There are very few people I like as much as my friend Master Chef Fabio Viviani. Maybe it is because I feel at home every time I watch him cook or hear him talk and make up new words for the English language like I’m already supposed to know what it means… ! Really Fabio ? lol
Maybe it is because he is so funny he can make me laugh by just being himself and throwing together a breakfast frittata like nobody’s business …?!
Who knows… ? Who Cares…? The man is addictive and so is his new show Chow-Ciao that premiered on Yahoo last week. Seriously you won’t even need to Tivo any other cooking shows anymore!
Just watch Fabio whip up simple, flavorful and comforting italian dishes in 15 minutes and you are going to wanna make everything !!!
You get a new episode every week which in my opinion is simply not enough but hey, you can always replay them until you have the recipe instilled in your brain as it should be and then Yahoo will realize that the world needs Fabio every day of the week and give us some more.
Until then this weeks menu consists of Frittata-The Perfect Italian Omelet and an Herbtastic –Fresh Herb Encrusted Halibut!
If your frittata never came out good before is simply because you didn’t know The Secret ” Frittatas are like children- you need patience and a wooden spoon “
Now be honest! Did you really know that ! 😉
Make sure to join the e-mail list so you won’t miss any episodes and also follow Fabio and I on Twitter and Facebook and share this with all the food lovers in your world.
P.S. For all of you who have been asking me for Fabio’s Perfect Italian Meatballs Recipe you can now see it in the little November Issue of the Ciao Florentina Magazine: on page 16. ENJOY !

1 cup parm-reggiano-grated
1 cup panko bread crumbs

2 shallots-minced
1 TBS x-tra virgin olive oil (for meat mixture)
additional oil for hands for rolling the meatballs
Would love to hear how it comes out for everyone!

January 18, 2012 at 1:43 pmTried the meatball recipe. My husband raves about it. I could never make sphagetti and meatballs until Fabio came along with the easiest and most tastiest recipe. I use to buy Italian cookbooks which made things too complicated, but Fabio breaks it down to simplicity. I think that’s the reason why his recipes are so delicious K.I.S.S.! This recipe is good enough for company. Thanks very much and I will be trying the slow cooked short ribs soon.

March 13, 2012 at 11:55 pmThis guy needs more than the 5-10 mins they give him. YAHOO can we get a half hour or more of FABIO! First time I watched I was in the kitchen trying these things out he makes cooking fun again for me. MORE CHOW-CIAO!!!

Florentina
March 20, 2012 at 11:57 amHahaha, I’m sure he has a price for that Daina 😉

May 19, 2012 at 10:21 amhow do I get the written recipes of Fabio’s Italian meat sauce, or any of the video recipes?
whatsforlunch
May 29, 2012 at 1:28 pmWithout forcing the Italian side of his suggestions Fabio, broadens our food horizons in easy-to-make ideas. If you want people to follow you in the kitchen one must use the “noodle” (the brain ) to make it work. Faqbio surely does. Thanx

September 2, 2012 at 8:40 amwhy no veal parm, and why always cracked pepper as so little is used anyway?
Joyce
September 26, 2012 at 8:55 pmFabio, what cookwear are you using on your show? I love it. I want it. cooked your version of pasta fagioli. favoloso! w/b
Florentina
September 26, 2012 at 9:21 pmHi Joyce! Fabio uses the Bialetti line on the show, you can find it at Bed, Bath and Beyond and sometimes on QVC. Enjoy the recipes!

Where the original Pissed off Prawns recipe? Going to a Senior PJ party
tonite and the girls have all requested this app. Only the Tiger Prawn online and that’s not the one. They all liked the hot one where the heat comes out of your……..ears. Ciao Bambino

December 10, 2012 at 9:11 amClicked a link on MyYahoo Homepage and found you and your recipes! Love it. Fabulous The trick here will be to find some of the special items for the recipes! Can’t wait to get started. Ready to make the Gooey Cinnamon Buns. Looking for the ingredients for, as my mom called it, Pasta Fazool.

May 19, 2013 at 9:55 amI don’t know if this is the correct website, but if it is…
Ever since ciao chow started running on Yahoo Screen (or) Shine, I don’t get any audio. Is there any other website available where I can watch these videos?
I used to watch these videos all the time, until I was stopped by whatever is going on with yahoo.
Thank you

June 1, 2013 at 5:14 amWOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for chef fabio meatball recipe
jude ruzzi
May 9, 2015 at 6:21 amI accidently crossed fabio’s lasagna recipe was searching for one. I miss the food in my house. Is there a recipe book? Or how about a global down load of all the meals?
I’m sure if one exists there is a cost. I thought I might ask!
Florentina
May 9, 2015 at 1:24 pmHi! I am not aware of a book with the Chow Ciao show recipes.. I doubt there is one. You can of course save and print all the recipes from this website if you like. You might want to give this easy Ravioli Lasagna recipe a go. Perfect for a weeknight 🙂 I’d love to hear from you if you try it ! http://ciaoflorentina.com/2015/03/01/ravioli-lasagna-florentine-recipe/
