Big and bountiful, it’s a welcoming jumble of recipes... And by the looks of it, it may give cookbooks by American celebrity chefs a run for their money."— The New York Times Magazine Editoriale Domus still publishes the book as a single volume as well as a series of single-subject books. It is now in its eleventh Italian edition. Domus also produces Il cucchiaino d'argento for children, as well as creating recipes for Phaidon's books; these include regional cookbooks (so far for Tuscany, Sicily, and Puglia) as well as seasonal and single-ingredient books on pasta and seafood. Without a doubt, this season's one indispensable cookbook is The Silver Spoon... Magnificent."— This Week The Foggartism element was really interesting, especially in relation to the state of England at the time the book was set. I have just learned that Foggartism is not an actual concept but is based on a policy where orphaned children were to Australia for a new start in life (unfortunately though, it often ended in abuse and cruelty).Strongly recommended for cooks of all stages, culinary school students, and food lovers."— celebrity-books.blogspot.com This book is considered something of an authority on Italian cookery and is the bestselling cookery book of all time in its native land... For lovers of Italian cuisine it contains so much to inspire and delight. Well deserving of a coveted space on the kitchen shelf."— Woman's Way (Ireland)

The story is complicated when Jon Forsyth's American brother-in-law arrives at the Mont's on the tail end of his European tour & promptly falls for the offending Marjorie. La nueva edición incluye más de 2000 recetas con imágenes a todo color, muchas de ellas son recetas típicas regionales. Michael attempts to help various people who appeal to him in his various capacities, and has mixed results in return, some success and some not quite so much. One couple he helped before his political career began managed to stay together despite delicate problems to negotiate and even managed to migrate to a better climate in Australia, but is not as immediately well off as they thought. Another is a disaster partly, with a third doing all right. Sin embargo, además de las recetas puramente italianas, también encontraréis recetas mediterráneas y otras sin fronteras, cosmopolitas, que tienen su origen en otros países pero que se han convertido en universales. As The Silver Spoon begins, Francis Wilmot turns up at Fleur and Michael Mont’s fashionable London house, bringing with him news of Jon and his sister.

A new dog has taken the place of the adored little Pekinese and the décor is no longer Chinese in inspiration. Fleur and Michael’s son, Kit, often affectionately known as the eleventh Baronet is a happy little chap, the apple of everyone’s eye.

Customer reviews

A seriously comprehensive guide that shows that Italian food is about for more than just pasta and pizza... One for serious Italophiles."—Gordon Ramsay, The Times There's plenty to say about Italian food but very little that hasn't been explored in this vast tome. In essence it defines the ineffable conviviality that gives Italian fare its pizzazz." — Monocle
