Summary: An Italian Classic
Comment: I think that this is one of my favourite recipe books ever!! I love Italian food and this book has it all. Really simple sauces and marinades to much more complex cookery. If ever we are stuck for an idea for dinner this book is always picked up first, I would highly recommend it!

Summary: Wonderful - just beware the quantities
Comment: There are some reviews of this fabulous cook book which complain about the poor translation, the fact that the book isn't in Engish alphabetical order, that the quantities aren't precise enough ... You're safe to ignore all these quibbles provided you accept the basis on which this cookebook was created.
It was designed to guide (young) Italians who were starting to lose their traditional roots in national cuisine and to help them know just how to make high quality food. For this audience it isn't necessary to give exact quantities or lengths of time ... they just know. And after working with this cookery book, you'll get to know these things too.
For me, a precise English/American book telling me just precisely what to do down to the last millilitre, gramme or degree of heat is not letting you be creative, not allowing you to find out what works best for you in your kitchen, and - above all - what great ingredients work with which.
This is a classic book; its English translation works; and I simply couldn't be without it. (And excuse me, if cooking is all about glossy photos, count me out: I prefer pictures that look like what I make, not some bizarre studio impersonation of food.
The Silver Spoon is all about good food cooked by real people in real kitchens. Bravo! Buy it!

Summary: A must for any italian food lover
Comment: My step father was an Italian restauranteur and had a copy of this same book in Italian throughout his career. He even had it rebound a few years back. During his life he ran a hotel in Rome and cooked for cardinals that came there from the vatican using recipes from the Silver spoon.
I was therefore thrilled when this came out in English and so far have bought 3 copies so that both my daughters have them for their homes. They use them daily. Not only is this the authentic cookery book for Italian food lovers it is amazingly economical, utilising seasonal fresh foods and not that many ingredients unlike so many newer recipes.
Risotto with carrots for example is fantastically creamy as the carrot is pureed. Highly recommended reading and an ideal gift for any newly weds or new home buyers.

Summary: Really Good
Comment: Bought this book from Amazon and after two weeks have cooked 4 things from it. Every recipe has tasted great with bags of flavour. More importantly, every recipe has worked.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Italian cook book
Comment: This is an excellent book with over 2000 authentic recipes (some are very authentic - there's a whole section on brains!) The recipes are, typically of Italian food, simple and easy to follow. There is also a small section at the back with some more complicated recipes from famous Italian chefs. All in all a top book you're not likely to get bored with quickly.
