"The one-volume encyclopedia of Italian home cookery." – Wall Street Journal

The Silver Spoon, the most influential and successful Italian cookbook of the last 50 years, is now available in a revised edition. Originally published in 1950, it became an instant classic, selling over one million copies across eight editions. Considered essential in many households, it remains one of the most popular wedding gifts in Italy.

The Silver Spoon was conceived and first published by Domus, the design and architectural magazine famously directed by Giò Ponti from the 1920s to the 1970s. A select group of cooking experts was commissioned to collect hundreds of traditional Italian recipes and make them available to a wider modern audience.

In the process, ingredients, quantities and methods were updated to suit contemporary tastes and customs, while preserving the memory of traditional recipes for future generations.

The book also includes modern recipes from some of the most celebrated Italian chefs, resulting in a style of cooking that appeals to both the professional chef and the enthusiastic home cook. Its clear and user-friendly format makes it accessible and enjoyable to read.

This edition features new introductory material on Italian culinary traditions, including how to compose a traditional Italian meal, regional food customs and guidance on setting the table.

The book is illustrated with twice as many newly commissioned photographs and includes a new section of menus created by renowned chefs working with traditional Italian cuisine.

With more than 2,000 recipes illustrated with specially commissioned artwork and photography, The Silver Spoon is a monumental cookbook that sits alongside classic reference works such as The Joy of Cooking and Larousse Gastronomique.
