The Silver Spoon

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, the book became an instant classic. The deluxe cookbook is considered indispensable in every household.

The Silver Spoon was conceived and first published by Domus, the design and architecture magazine run by Giò Ponti from the 1920s to the 1970s. A select group of cooking experts were tasked with collecting hundreds of traditional Italian recipes and making them available to a wider modern audience for the first time. During the process, they adapted ingredients, quantities and methods to contemporary tastes and customs, while at the same time preserving the memory of ancient recipes for future generations. Moreover, they have incorporated modern recipes from some of Italy's most famous chefs, resulting in a style of cooking that appeals to gourmets and aficionados alike.

It is a comprehensive and lively book with a unique, stylish and user-friendly layout, making it accessible and a pleasure to read. The new edition includes new introductory material on culinary matters such as putting together a traditional Italian meal, typical dining traditions of different regions and setting the table. It is also illustrated with twice as many new photographs and includes a new section with menus of famous chefs preparing traditional Italian dishes.

With more than 2,000 recipes, illustrated with specially commissioned artwork and photography, the book is destined to become a new and definitive classic in the book list of Italian cuisine.
