About this title

Review

'Its simple style and authenticity will appeal to both the gourmet and the occasional cook.' (What's On In London)

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

'The Italians have kept their culinary secrets to themselves for too long - The Silver Spoon gives the rest of us a chance to get your hands on them. Buon Appetito.' (Observer Food Monthly)

'Giorgio Locatelli says it is the only book to have made into his mother's kitchen, but that doesn't convince you, look at the numbers. Where else will you get 2,000 recipes for £25?' (The Times magazine)

'Both practical and comprehensive.' (The Daily Telegraph)

'The Silver Spoon reveals a lot of secrets, close to 3,000 of them...one finds not just simple and accurate recipes for the classics, but myriad ideas and new dishes that one has never heard of.' (Financial Times)

'Embodies the entire culinary ethos and unparalleled passion for food that runs through every Italian's veins...Unlike so many cookery books on offer in Britain, The Silver Spoon is not a showy and stylised title (the photography in the book is completely natural, shot without special lighting or food stylist's props), sold on the back of the celebrity of its author. It's about simple good food, treated in an unpretentious, appreciative way. It's about passing on a legacy, an understanding and a passion.' (Scottish Sunday Herald)

'I would like to start this review with a little story: my grandmother - who was in charge of the cooking in our house for nearly 80 years - did not have any cookery books at home. When she died, at the grand old age of 101, my mother took command of the kitchen, and the only book she ever brought into the house was Il Cucchiaio d'Argento (aka The Silver Spoon)...The recipes have been translated in a beautifully simple format, colour-coded for easy use...Throughout the book there is a very good representation of recipes from all the regions of Italy...Inspiration indeed.' (Giorgio Locatelli)

'Pleasantly frill-free.' (The Sunday Times)

'Now translated into English, making its mouthwatering, authentic recipes accessible worldwide.' (Waitrose Food Illustrated)
