The Silver Spoon was conceived and published by Domus, the
design and architectural magazine famously directed by Giò
Ponti from the 1920s to the 1970s. A group of cooking
experts was commissioned to collect hundreds of traditional
recipes from the different Italian regions and make them
available for the first time to a wider audience. In the
process, they updated ingredients, quantities and methods
to suit contemporary tastes and customs, at the same time
preserving the memory of ancient recipes for future
generations. They also included modern recipes from some of
the most famous Italian chefs, resulting in a style of
cooking that appeals to the gourmet as well as the
occasional cook A comprehensive and lively book, its simple and user-
friendly format makes it both accessible and a pleasure to
read. It provides an introduction to every course, and an
explanation of the main type of ingredients. Never
translated before, The Silver Spoon has now been adapted to
an international market, with every recipe checked for
suitability, measurements converted and methods rewritten
to accommodate cultural differences, yet maintaining the
authenticity of real Italian cooking. The new layout emphasizes its contemporary appeal and the
colour coding of each section simplifies the process of
cross-referencing ingredients and methods. A section with
original menus from the 15 most famous Italian chefs of the
last 50 years has been expanded to include original menus
from Italian celebrity chefs working outside Italy. This is a substantial and prestigious cookbook that will
share the bookshelves with other titles such as The Joy of
Cooking and Larousse Gastronomique, another classic of
national cuisine. With over 2,000 recipes illustrated with
specially commissioned artwork and photography, the book is
destined to become a classic in the Italian cooking
booklist for the international market.
