Last week the Observer on Sunday (a UK national newspaper) ran a lengthy
article about the upcoming English translation of 'Il Cucchiaio
d'Argento', aka 'The Silver Spoon'.
According to the article, The Silver Spoon is, 'a 55-year-old, hefty
1,264-page cookery book. It's been the most popular recipe book in Italy
since 1950 and is the book every bride is given on her wedding day. Now
into its eighth edition, it's about to be published in English for the
first time.'
So has anyone heard of this book? Is it really that basic to Italian
kitchens? Does every bride really receive a copy on her wedding day?
More to the point, can it possibly be worth the 25 quid that Phaidon are
charging for it?
