The Silver Spoon (Il Cucchiaio d’argento) is the most influential and successful cookbook in Italy.

Originally published in 1950, it became an instant classic, selling over one million copies in eight editions. Now it has been translated in English. It containes all the Italian recipes you will ever need for the rest of your life. People call this the food bible and it is indeed as big and and weighty and it’s said to be a popular wedding gift. Anyway, for cookbook collectors like you and me it is a ‘must have’!
