Title: What a wonderful and fun cookbook!
Review: I received "The Silver Spoon" as a Christmas present. What a great book! I think that the recipes are clear and easy to follow. Also, as a busy mother of a toddler, I appreciate that many of the recipes don't require a lot of time or a huge list of ingredients.I have made two dishes so far...penne alla arrabiata and semifreddo a lampone. I had no problems with either recipe, and the results were fantastic. The semifreddo recipe did yield a bit more than I expected, but that's not a problem...it just gives me some to share.Some might think that these are not the "fanciest" of recipes, but I do think they are representative of what the average Italian person might be cooking in their home. I have visited Italy, and these recipes sound like accurate representations of what foods I've encountered there. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who would like a really functional cookbook...this is a book you'll have in your kitchen rather than on the coffee table.
