Look, I know this book looks intimidating (it’s basically the Italian cooking bible), but trust me – once you get past its size, it’s like having an Italian nonna in your kitchen teaching you all her secrets.
The Silver Spoon
Description
This cookbook is tattered and frayed because I’ve loved it long and hard. At one point I even considered cooking my way through the entire book recipe-by-recipe ala The Julie/Julia Project. Because here’s the thing: behind that serious-looking cover is a treasure trove of recipes that have become some of my family’s favorites — and they’re usually super simple.
What I Love About The Silver Spoon:
- It has a recipe for every basic Italian recipe that you could ever imagine.
- It’s arranged by ingredient — and there are many ingredients, and many recipes for each!
- It has over 2,000 recipes that feel simple and authentic
- The back of the book has menus from celebrated Italian chefs — different in each edition
Standout recipes:
- Ribollita (page 246)
- Pasta con le sarde (page 293)
- Sweet-and-Sour Caponata (page 112)
Perfect for:
- Anyone who’s ever wished they could cook like their favorite Italian nonna
- People who love to go deep on a single ingredient
- Anyone who loves to eat lol!
