Excellent book great recipes as expected from this established cookbook

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Anything you can think of is in this cookery book, think of what you would like to eat or have in the fridge/cupboard, find that section and it will provide you with a great and varied selection of recipes to choose from. The book is so large and so full of recipes I don't think we will ever run out of meal ideas! Ingredients and cooking instructions are simple and easy to follow, we love the fact there are recipes for single vegetables that will jazz them up a bit and make them more interesting rather than just plain boiled. I'm going to buy this again for other family members as it makes a great gift for any keen cook and at this price it is a steal! Very quick delivery too! Cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic buy

I wanted this book for ages and finally took the plunge. It is very well laid out and the index is either by recipe or ingredient which is useful. There is a big section on cooking terms in some cases is a translation of the Italian word. There are a lot of pictures of finished recipes which is always good. The recipe methods are very short, it is not a step by step instruction, for example on most pages there are 3 or 4 recipes. The introduction refers that this book would be accessible for the novice cook, and having looked through the non complex recipes I would agree with that. Endless vegetable, pasta, meat, everything receipes - which use very few ingredients - non of which are difficult to source and would be something you would be able to use again. Great book, good price and I am pleased that I have purchased it.

Bible of Italy for food

Can't really give a very exhaustive assessment of this cookbook, as I have only tried 2 or 3 recipes so far. Going by the results however, and what I am sure are innumerable excellent other recipes throughout this huge collection, I have little doubt that this is a 5 star job. OK - there are some page number errors in the index, and all is not necessarily 100% Italian in origin, plus not being a book for novices - but so what! This is a really splendid cookbook, beautifully bound with super pictures and ideas that really ought to get you into the kitchen tout suite. As far as I am concerned just one great recipe can justify for me the cost of a cookbook, so this one must be worth a fortune!

Es un libro enciclopédico con fotos muy hermosas. Retrata excelentemente la cocina italiana, con recetas más allá de pastas, risottos y pizzas. Al ser un libro tan extenso contiene más recetas que imágenes, así que en muchos casos no hay referencia del platillo. Otra observación, es que el libro es tan amplio que las recetas son vagas y en algunos casos las cantidades de ingredientes no son las apropiadas, y es que con un libro de tal magnitud es casi imposible comprobar todas las recetas. Si buscas un libro de cocina italiano para aprender o cocinar durante la semana no siento que sea el caso. El libro funciona mejor como consulta/inspiración para alguien que entiende la lógica y técnicas de la cocina italiana.

Fin bok med oändligt många recept och vackra bilder. Killen blev supernöjd när han fick den i julklapp, väldigt uppskattad present.

This is very good book. Specially thanks for Riya a customer executive who helped me lot with deliver this product on time, thankyou very much.

Not just a translation of the original silver spoon in the original Italian, but it really significantly alters recipes that are time tested and authentic and as we try to use it, we find that it’s not much use to someone who just simply wanted to have the original Silver spoon translated into English

Great authentic Italian cooking skills
