The Silver Spoon Classic

First published in 1950, Il Cucchiaio d’Argento, or its English-language offspring The Silver Spoon, is the ultimate compilation of traditional home-cooking Italian dishes. In this all-new luxurious book, The Silver Spoon Classic features 170 of the very best-of-the-best recipes from Italy’s incredibly diverse regions.

“The original Silver Spoon has over 2000 recipes, and it can be a little bit overwhelming. In this book we wanted to pick a few key recipes and go into greater depth, to tell their story, outline the region each is from and add in any possible variations or changes in ingredients.”
— Emilia Terragni, publisher at Phaidon

Carefully selected from Phaidon’s Silver Spoon cookbooks, which have sold more than one million copies worldwide, this new collection features exquisite photography of the dishes, is replete with elegant double ribbons for easy reference, and a sumptuous design and package, which makes for an ideal gift or keepsake for the amateur and serious chef. With dishes for all tastes and seasons, The Silver Spoon Classic is the definitive guide to preparing the most important, authentic, and delicious Italian recipes.
