Gift Idea: The Silver Spoon

Do you know someone who likes to cook?

Do you know someone who likes Italian food?

Then, consider this doozy as a Christmas present:

The Silver Spoon (or Il cucchiaio d' argento). It's like the Bible of Italian cookbooks. It was first published in 1950 and has just recently been translated into English from Italiano.

And you'll find that what makes Italian cuisine so good is the simple (and fresh) ingredients and the simple steps.

Buon appetito!
