Product description

Review

'a seriously comprehensive guide that shows that Italian food is about for more than just pasta and pizza. … One for serious Italophiles.'
Gordon Ramsey, The Times

'A joy to cook from. … may well prove to be the only Italian cookery you’ll ever need.'
Henrietta Green, Daily Mail

'I predict this is going to become the new bible on Italian food.'
The Bookseller

'Big and bountiful, it's a welcoming jumble of recipes…and by the looks of it, it may give cookbooks by American celebrity chefs a run for their money'
The New York Times Magazine

'The most exhaustive Italian cookbook in recent memory, this volume offers something for every cook, regardless of their skill level, and deserves to be a fixture in American kitchens.'
Publishers Weekly

'It's not so much one more Italian cookbook as the one-volume encyclopedia of Italian home cookery. Lavish illustrations, a helpful glossary of cooking terms and a translation geared to the intelligent layout make The Silver Spoon both pleasant browsing and an accessible manual in the kitchen.'
The Wall Street Journal

A must for anyone who loves cooking and baking

Best recipe book I own. I love Italian food so perfect. I never knew how many different varieties of some dishes I thought I knew there was. Had this for a good few years now and still have not even covered half of the book. If you like to impress impress people with interesting dishes and information it is great as the front has lots of details about the dishes and regions. I think every kitchen should have this book.

Incredibly poor quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2021

Verified Purchase

This book had been described as ‘good condition’ however was dog-eared, had ex-library stamps and labels all over the cover, , spine and pages, had a page missing and was filthy (see photographs). It certainly wasn’t in good condition and I am returning the product. This review is no reflection on the book itself which looks to be a great book with lots of really useful recipes. The quality from Music Magpie is just disappointing.

The Silver Spoon Italian Cook Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2013

Verified Purchase

We're the happy owners of this wonderful cookbook and had it for a couple of years now. On a special occasion, we gave it as a gift to our family members.The family likes to spend holidays in Italy and they're fond lovers of Italian food ! :-)))) They all delight in this cook book as it's so easy to work with. There are some 2.000 recipes in it, and the best bit is that, the ingredients & recipes are clearly listed, and there are 3 to 4 recipes per page. The register makes for easy and fast finding of whatever it is you're searching for. It's a delight to work with and you'll defintiely find yourself cooking more of this wonderful food, due to that. The ingredients themselves you can get pretty near all year round, nothing exceptional or rare, nothing hard to find, except perhaps on occasion a particular (dried)pasta. easy to skip around that though, I would think. I hope this is helpful to someone wondering whether to buy this book. KInd regards, L.B..

A must for any Italian food lover

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2008

My late step father was an Italian restauranteur and had a copy of this same book in Italian throughout his career. He even had it rebound a few years back. During his life he ran a hotel in Rome a stones throw from the Vatican and cooked for cardinals that came to the hotel using recipes from the Silver spoon.

I was therefore thrilled when this came out in English and so far have bought 3 copies so that both my daughters have them for their homes. They use them daily. Not only is this the authentic cookery book for Italian food lovers it is amazingly economical, utilising seasonal fresh foods and not that many ingredients unlike so many newer recipes.

No matter what the ingredient there will be a delicious recipe or more to make in the authentic Italian style. Rabbit, Hare, Brains, Celery or Turnip all get the Silver spoon makeover turning them into totally delicious meals.

Risotto with carrots for example is fantastically creamy as the carrot is pureed. Highly recommended reading and an ideal gift for any newly weds or new home buyers.

Not Just Italian

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2009

Verified Purchase

This is apparently the standard wedding present for new Italian couples. It has an encyclopaedic content - including Irish Stew. We have a couple of hundred cookbooks and my wife views the appearance of a new book with derision. This was different, she can cook (really cook) and loves Italian food and we have most of the Italian Classics. This is comprehensive, aimed at somebody who (unlike another reviewer) would know that you don't boil green beans for 20 minutes. The recipes work and if, in a book of this size and breadth of content, there is the odd error, the answer for those who recognise them to let the editorial team know. It is not quite the only cookbook you need. However, if you have it buying another one seems like an extravagence.

I like it so much I bought it twice.

I had this edition back in 2008 (ish). Borrowed by numerous people and not returned eventually. My favourite book for all things in Italian food.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2009

I've only had mine a short time, and have cooked lots of the recipes already. Its easy to find dishes you may have eaten in restaurants as they are indexed in both English and Italian. But this is not just restaurant food that you might cook for a dinner party, this is ultimate home cooking. I use it almost every day, we have never eaten so well and it seems healthy too. I have had to make several substitutions for the various meats used as kid, veal and mutton are not available here (if you know otherwise let us all know!) but that has worked out well too. I'm about to buy another as my son saw mine and wants one too.

I've had my eye on this book for ages, so I was over the moon when a generous friend gave it to me as a birthday gift this year.

I have a huge collection of cookbooks but this is one of my favourite. The recipes are so easy to follow and everything tastes incredible. I had friends to stay recently and thought I'd push the boat out. I made the seafood risotto on page 328 and it went down a storm. We'd been out to a top London restaurant the night before and my friends said this risotto tasted better than the food served at a D&D restaurant. Praise indeed! Not meaning to blow my own trumpet but it was the best risotto I've ever had. I was very proud of myself!

The options are endless and each recipe is incredibly easy to follow. I regulary have to tweak recipes to suit my tastes but I would strongly advise that you don't mess with the programme here. So far, every recipe I've tried has been followed to the letter and has tasted amazing.

Every household should have a copy of this book; unless of course you don't like Italian food!
