The Silver Spoon
Over 50 years ago Domus, an Italian architectural magazine, commissioned a team of cooking experts to travel across Italy. Their mission was to gather traditional recipes from different regions of Italy for a cookbook. The result of this undertaking was The Silver Spoon (Il Cucchiaio d'Argento in Italian). Long considered a classic in Italy, this cookbook has never been available in English, until now.
