"A one-volume encyclopaedia of Italian home cooking." - Wall Street Journal

"The Silver Spoon, the most influential and successful Italian cookbook of the last 50 years, is now published in a completely updated edition. First published in 1950, it became an instant classic, selling more than one million copies in eight editions. Considered a must-have in every home, it is still one of the most popular wedding gifts.

The book was created and published by Domus magazine, the famous design and architecture publication edited by Giò Ponti from the 1920s to the 1970s. A select group of culinary experts have collected hundreds of traditional Italian recipes, bringing them to a wider contemporary audience for the first time. Updated ingredients, quantities and cooking methods reflect modern tastes and habits, while preserving the heritage of the old recipes for future generations. Contemporary recipes from Italy's best-known chefs are also included, so the book will appeal to both professional and amateur cooks.

It is a comprehensive and lively book with a unique, user-friendly format. The new edition includes introductory chapters on how to put together a traditional Italian meal, the culinary customs of the different regions and how to set the table. The book includes twice as many new photographs, specially created for this edition, as well as a new chapter with Italian menus created by famous chefs.

It is a monumental and prestigious cookbook, valued alongside classics such as "The Joy of Cooking" and "Larousse Gastronomique". With more than 2,000 recipes illustrated with specially commissioned graphics and photographs, this book will become the new, indispensable edition of a classic of Italian cuisine.
