Title: A 'must' for any serious about Italian cooking
Review: The Silver Spoon has been to Italy what "The Joy of Cooking" has been to America for years: a mainstay for home cooks. Its appearance in English for the first time profiles the classic dishes which make Italian home cooks so famous - and The Silver Spoon is a 'must' for any serious about Italian cooking. It's been Italy's best-selling cookbook for over fifty years, with over 1,200 pages packed with color-coded pages of references and recipes. Add pepperings of color photos of completed dishes and you have a highly recommended pick for the holiday season; even for that experienced Italian cook who 'has everything'. If they don't have The Silver Spoon already - and if they only speak English they are unlikely to have gleaned a copy from Italy itself - then they don't have everything. Ditto for libraries strong in cookbook references: The Silver Spoon simply can't be missed and should be considered a standard acquisition.
