The international best-seller, "The Silver Spoon" has confirmed Italian cuisine to be one of the most popular cuisines in the world, and the best-loved Italian dish is pasta. Pasta comes in all shapes and textures, and can be simply cooked to create delicious dishes that appeal to both the novice cook and the gourmet. Now, for the first time, "The Silver Spoon Book of Pasta" presents a complete reference guide to all types of pasta with 350 classic and modern recipes. The recipes are easy to follow and fully explained for the UK and US markets, and include the most popular pasta dishes from "The Silver Spoon", along with over 250 new recipes collected by the same team and published in English for the first time. They are simple to prepare in any kitchen and yet utterly authentic, enabling any aspiring cook to successfully cook iconic dishes, or helping more experienced cooks to expand their repertoire. In traditional Italian cooking, each pasta shape must be accompanied by a specific range of sauces: "The Silver Spoon Book of Pasta" provides an introduction to every type of pasta, a guide to the different shapes and the best sauces to accompany them, as well as tips for dos and don'ts. A comprehensive and lively book with specially commissioned photographs and illustrations, its simple and user-friendly format makes it both accessible and a pleasure to read. "The Silver Spoon" has become the classic in the Italian cooking booklist for the international market and shares the bookshelves with other iconic cookery manuals such as "The Joy of Cooking". The first of a new series, "The Silver Spoon Book of Pasta" provides the definitive recipe book for Italian pasta.

My kids love Pasta, but we never seem to get past Spaghetti Bolognese, so I thought I'd invest in this book to expand my repertoire. It's divided into two parts, one on dry pasta and one on fresh pasta (one is not necessarily better than the other). It's very rigorous and Italian, only certain shapes of pasta go with certain sauces, but many of the recipes are straight forward and quick (15 mins or less). The Fusilli Pizza recipe was very popular with the boys (7 and 5) and with 360 recipes in the book there's a lot more to try, although I will have to invest in a pasta machine to try all the recipes. Ravioli with duck filling sounds particularly delicious.

Like the Silver Spoon, very in depth, great recipes.
A great book, some terms are Italian & you may need to seek out Italian deli's & look up pasta shapes ect.
Few pictures, but those that are present are good.

A very serious book, a bit dull, few photos and they are not very inspiring.BUT the numerous recipes are authentic,varied and they work; you need to be a decent cook. This is not for total beginners.I would have liked more tips about making one's own fresh pasta, it assumes a lot of previous knowledge, maybe because it is initially an italian cookery book! . Classic, old-fashioned, and loveable.
