The Silver Spoon - Red

The Silver Spoon, the most influential and successful Italian cookbook of the past 50 years, is now available in a brand new revised edition. Originally published in 1950, it became an instant classic, selling over a million copies in eight editions. Considered essential in any household, it remains one of Italy's most popular wedding gifts.

The Silver Spoon was first conceived and published by Domus, Italy's famous design and architecture magazine. A select group of cooking experts were tasked with collecting hundreds of traditional Italian recipes and making them available for the first time to a wider modern audience. In the process, they updated ingredients, quantities and methods to suit today's tastes and customs, while preserving the memory of ancient recipes for future generations. They also included modern recipes from some of Italy's most famous chefs, resulting in a style of cooking that appeals to both the gourmet chef and the amateur enthusiast.

A comprehensive and lively book, its uniquely stylish and user-friendly format makes it accessible and a joy to read. The new edition includes new introductory material covering topics such as how to put together a traditional Italian meal, typical food traditions of the different regions and how to set an Italian table. Its over 2,000 recipes are illustrated with newly commissioned photographs and include a new section of menus by famous chefs preparing traditional Italian food.
