2570 The Silver Spoon

ciao villa sibillini i have had a copy of the book for a while now do you have the english version or the italian i was quite suprised at the diversity of the recipies in the book some that i woiuld never imagine italian mamas would even contemplate never the less i find the way the recipies are laid out easy to follow and touch wood have all turned out very good ciao marco:)

[quote=villa sibillini]Have just found a copy of the silver Spoon, what an amazing book - thoroughly recommend it for anyone who loves Italian food. - Check out the amazon site for best offers.[/quote]

We have the English version - my Italian reading is not good enough really. But you are right - there's so much in it. Am going home this week and hoping David will cook a few dishes for me.

Got the same book (English version) for Christmas and planning to test out some of the recipes during the long hot summer we'll be over in Italy. Can't wait!

I bought mine last year, and wouldn't you know it I found copies of it a few weeks later at a local Costco for much less (after mine was delivered from Amazon :rolleyes: ) Anyway, I bought the 3 copies they had there and sent them to my brother and sisters for Christmas. They all wrote to tell me how much they like the book. :)

One of our daughters gave us a copy of the new English edition as a Christmas present. It is a great cookery book, very impressed. It is huge at 1,263 pages! Going to take ages to try all the recipes we like the look of. Had
Calamari alla Marchigiana with Spagetti for lunch and it was delicious!

Good to know it's available again. We've been trying to get it through Amazon and Waterstones and both had a delivery time from 4-6 weeks due to low stock.

Will check again!!

Cheers,
Stephanie

i bought a copy for my daughter in law for Christmas, she is delighted with it, our son is even more delighted as he has been eating the results!!

I found a copy, quite by chance, in WH Smiths Edinburgh at New Year - after Waterstones failed to get it for me by Christmas.

DerekL... it's you who got that last copy!!! ;);)

Went into WHS too between Xmas & New Year and they didn't have it... maybe we were blind... funny that you should find it a few days later! :D

Now it'll have to wait till after our hols... roll on, payday!!!

sounds like a fantastic book I think I will add it to my collection, I have a passion for Italian cookery books, I'm sure ther is always room for one more.:) Thanks for the info.

Check out "Italian Cooking for Dummies" It is filled with great facts and recipes. I have added it to my 40 Italian cookbook collection and use it quite often.
Also check out "Italy for Dummies" it has a lot of useful info on ,of course, Italy.;)

Ahhh we got our Silver Spoon a few weeks ago... but so far haven't dared venture into the practical execution yet...

... will do soon, however, as the recipes sound very yummy... ;)

Italian Cooking for Dummies?? Haven't come across it but will keep my eyes open...

Ciao!

Iona, the "for Dummies" series are published in the US but Amazon UK possibly stock the more popular titles. They're fun, I especially like the arty ones, the sort of "Idiot's guide to Renaissance Art", something I'm very much in need of despite all the hours spent in galleries! V
