Review: The GOAT for Italian Cooking. - This book is basically the Italian cookbook to have. The Silver Spoon is huge, thorough, and feels like it’s been pulled straight from Italian home kitchens rather than a trendy food blog. If you want to actually understand Italian cooking—not just make a few flashy dishes—this is the book. The recipes are straightforward and reliable, covering everything from simple pastas to classic regional dishes. No gimmicks, no overcomplicating things—just solid, traditional food that works. It’s the kind of cookbook you flip through for ideas, then end up using way more than you expect. If you love Italian food and want one reference you’ll keep for years, this one’s absolutely worth it.
Review: Supremo - To call "The Silver Spoon" the best Italian cookbook of all time is to do it an injustice. This, for my money, is the best cookbook of all time, period. Yes, its approach is Italian with the myriad requisites of olive oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes, olives, semolina, parmesan, etc., etc,, but - more important - its spirit is Italian, meaning that it honors simplicity of execution, accessibility of ingredients, vivid delineation of flavors. Italian cooking is the most attainable and adaptable of national cuisines, which makes this classic tome, now updated and tailored to an American audience (ounces, not grams), a must-have for American home cooks (not chefs) of every skill-level. These recipes, by the thousands, are no-fuss, each succinct and clear as a fine Pinot Grigio. If you know how to boil water and turn the range knobs, you're in. Still, novelties proliferate, for Italians, in contrast to the French, are improvisational by nature, using whatever at hand seems best, however unlikely. Variations on basic themes abound in all their regional distinctions. The photography is superb without looking like food porn. The several indexes should be a model for all cookbooks. One lists items by recipes, in order of courses and prime ingredients. The other list sub-ingredints - aioli to zucchini flowers (with forty zucchini flower dishes to choose from). This allows you to gaze into your pantry and spot, say, a container of dried porcini that's been around for several years, then find dozens of ways to use the little funghi. A wonderful bonus is a section of recipes by great Italian chefs (including Italian-Americans like Mario Batali). Encompassing 1500 pages, "The Silver Spoon" would make a great doorstop. However, the floor is the last place I'd put it. It deserves pride of place on your kitchen counter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All encompassing Italian cookbook.
*by J***. on February 26, 2024*

Covers everything from sauces/marinades to desserts. Includes a section of complete menus from award winning chefs. Would probably take 20yrs and 45lbs to get through the whole book. Exceeded all expectations. Nothing I say can do it justice. Got it on sale for $40. from Prime. Strongly recommend. Side note: This is not intended for someone as “My first cookbook”. It’s true, most of the recipes are straight forward and clearly written. Maybe 5% of the recipes have photos for reference. This book will not teach you how to cook. To get the most out it, a basic understanding of prep/cooking/baking fundamentals is encouraged. That said. If your new to cooking. Go for it. You gotta start somewhere. 👍
